The world you know no longer exists. There is no government. No army. No civilization. The United States have collapsed. And now, thirty years after the war started, new powers finally try to take control over the ruined country, try to establish a new order, try to control others and create a new country, a new State: the 51st State.
51st State is a card game in which players control one of the four powers (mutants, traders, New Yorkers and Appalachians) and try to build their very own new country. Players put new locations into the game, they hire leaders, and send people to work in buildings to gain resources and new skills.
Every card in 51st State can be put into play in three different ways. You can invade a location to gain many resources once, or you can sign a contract with this location to gain one resource every turn, or you can attach the location to your State so you can use its skill. One card, three possibilities. Lots of decisions and choices that matter.
It is unnerving, isn't it? SO let's go on to Christmas entertainment.
How much did Santa pay for his sleigh? Nothing – it was on the house.
A gingerbread man went to the doctor’s complaining of a sore knee. “A sore knee?” the doctor said. “Have you tried icing it?”
How did Scrooge win the football game? The Ghost of Christmas passed.
What is Santa’s favourite kind of pizza? One that’s deep-pan, crisp and even.
The Christmas jumper my kids gave me last year kept picking up static electricity. I took it back and exchanged it for another one – free of charge.
Here's a bit of nostalgia from the Orchard Crescent garden in Toronto - this is the little willow chair in the snowy woods behind the house.
