Greetings

In a week when scientists announced we can 3D print an eggshell capable of growing a chicken, when commencement speaker, Anil Kochhar, announced he and his wife were paying off the final year of college debt for all 170 graduates of NC State's College of Textiles, when three 16-year-old students won Asia's Earth Prize for creating a tamarind-based method for filtering out microplastics from water, when, at the 13th annual Avocado Festival in Tancítaro, Mexico, a Guinness World Record broken in the form of a 14,991-pound serving of guacamole, we're still talking games here on Meeple Mountain.
