Briefly:

1. Amazon is selling Settlers and Cities and Knights each for $10 less than I just paid for them. (Ahem, there was a “whiskey situation” I was not involved in.) That $20 could have been several delicious burritos!
2. Mayfair added a sea frame to the latest edition of SoC. While that’s great for setup and new players and all, now I have to buy this damned adapter kit to complete my 5-6 player Settlers universe.
