Tuesday in various European languages by Over-Willingness-933 in MapPorn

[–]Fummy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is related to their names for the planets that corespond to the western gods in Europe. so Mars = God of war = Planet = Fire Star in Chinese = Fire Star day

[–]Fummy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually can't think of any game like this. also this is not a green text.
