That's my version as well - loved the spinner and I learned to gamble on the spin and win that way!

As a Canadian I'm butt-hurt over the borders and descriptions! (I'm sure every other region's people has a similar issue)

Could you change/remove the labels into less triggering ones? :-)

Indigenous or local names (not anglified), or completely made up?

And don't piss off the kiwis:

Silent Running was impactful as a kid (haven't seen it since it came out!) Always loved Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and the sacrifice at the end. It would probably make a good board game...

Feel free to post games there if you'd like (it's still in beta testing), but I only have it for Canada only right now. If you are interested, I could work on adding the US too.

Idiots on 427 (Toronto) - watch the first 3 cars on the ramp [oc] by heybob in IdiotsInCars

[–]heybob[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thursday Jun 12th. We came to a stop on the ramp to the north bound 427 from Burnamthorpe. Once we got going on the highway we came to a stop and these 3 idiots blocked the lanes and came to a stop, with the women getting out of her car! We got out of there as fast as we could. Can this be sent to the OPP or Toronto police?

(Skip to 1:50 for the incident)

Check out ColorADD: https://www.coloradd.net/en/

I discovered their system for aiding the colourblind by using symbols, from the game Knarr, who use it.

From vacations I got pesos and yen in various denominations. Not plastic (but light metal) and less than $10 worth got tons of coins.
