I think I've had more "Iron Brew" WKD than actual Irn Bru.

Quantum is a really good 4X-style board game where your ships are big chunky dice and it feels really loving good to roll them.

Irn Bru is really bad, I accidentally got a can once at uni and regretted it immensely.

Ka sparkling black grape is my favourite A G Barr product soda beverage.

Agricola also sounds like an A G Barr product.

I liked irn bru more when it was full sugary madness but the replacement is alright. The irn bru chew bars were good too.

I'm also partial to some dandelion and burdock or a decent fiery ginger beer

I'm from Falkirk so our school trips were always round the Barrs factory and looking at the safe they kept the recipe in etc. The best school trips.

It's not nationalistic though unless Russia is Scotland now.

Agricola's great but it's kinda just simple enough that it's possible to think a bunch of turns ahead & compute everyone's moves, which stresses me out - imo Puerto Rico is a superior game, it's got the same basic mechanic but "bigger" & there's so many balls in play that you've pretty much got to go by pure intuition, rather than a bunch of involved thinking that gets in the way of drinking & chatting poo poo

You should try Isle of Skye, that's a great Euro game. Just enough information to plan, just enough fuckery to want to stab people.

Looking forward to the episode where SWAPO freedom fighters reclaim their back yard and fortify the wheelie bins.

Would unironically vote for devils if they could organize enough to run as a political party. Over Lib Dems, Tories, Greens, and about 2/3 of Labour. I'm not sure if that's the kind of thing that could get you suspended tho.
