Agreement incapability sounds like an essential for this one. But maybe that's who you designed this for.

I love that the Iranian negotiating team isn't even willing to talk to the Americans. That would be such a waste of time.

I love the Iranians. My teem!

Why would anyone in their right mind bother to consider talking the Americans or the Israelis? The only language they understand is violence and deceit!

Uh, just a coupla questions...

1) Is this by Parker Bros., Milton-Bradley, the late lamented Avalon Hill in resurrection, or other?

2) Shouldn't there be a role for terrorists, real or imagined (most likely the latter)?

I heard a rumour that Trump is getting someone to redistrict the board to ensure he wins, that's after he has his image put on the back of all the cards and gets some golden dice. 😉

I'm sure I've got some of your emails in a mammoth amount of emails I've yet to go through, I haven't been ignoring you, at the age of 71 years,I finally decided to catch chicken pox and as everything is, always worse the older you are and seems to last a lot longer. Also couldn't stand the light so screen of tablet and phone have been ignored.

WHAT!

I had chicken pox about 80 years ago! How the hell did you catch it?

Veronica Baker's avatar

I don't know what went wrong there, my answer to you has appeared above yours.

Veronica Baker's avatar

Didn't catch it when my brothers did when I was five, not when I was seven and my younger sister got it, nursed both my daughters through it, grandchildren slept in my bed with me when they had it, nothing until about six or seven weeks ago and my neighbours grandchild wasn't feeling well, she gave me a hug when she saw me. Of course children are infectious with chicken pox before the spots appear.

I guess the chicken pox fairy suddenly realised, they'd missed one out.

That is peculiar, Veronica. May you recover quickly with improved health.

Veronica Baker's avatar

Thank you Frank, feeling a lot better now but still falling asleep a lot when I want to be awake. Guess it's the old case of the body heals itself while sleeping.

Diane Engelhardt's avatar

Not a problem, Veronica! Hope you're recovering! Make sure you get a shingles vaccination at some point.

Veronica Baker's avatar

A lot better now, thank you.

Now, THIS is a game I could love... But I think I'll stay with Uno or Cards Against Humanity.

Excellent post! Have you built a prototype board and card set yet? I could see a game company interested in it, especially with Donnie T's endorsement. LOL!

Diane Engelhardt's avatar

No protype and card set yet. The game might be too complicated to appeal to a large audience. It would certainly be too complicated for Donnie T!

Rock, paper, scissors is too complicated for dear ol' Donald... :-)

He probably still hasn't figure out TicTacToe!

This is an interview with David Lasaw, whose book, The Last Million: Europe's Displaced Persons from World War to Cold War, I have read and am rereading.

I originally saw him interviewed on C-Span and bought the kindle edition.

I hadn't finished it the first time: 672 pages!

"Millions of lost and homeless concentration camp survivors, POWs, slave laborers, political prisoners, and Nazi collaborators in flight from the Red Army overwhelmed Germany, a nation in ruins. British and American soldiers gathered the malnourished and desperate refugees and attempted to repatriate them. But after exhaustive efforts, there remained more than a million displaced persons left behind in Germany: Jews, Poles, Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, and other Eastern Europeans who refused to go home or had no homes to return to. The Last Million would spend the next three to five years in displaced persons camps, temporary homelands in exile divided by nationality, with their own police forces, churches and synagogues, schools, newspapers, theaters, and infirmaries....."

If you think this situation is difficult, look at 1945. But, then almost all the international community was working together...And, the Western leaders were not complete idiots.
