Mapomi ies is a very sinple card game, where the aim is to get rid of all your country cards before anyone else.

Each card has a country in the middle, with the countries that border it around the edge. To play a card, you have to lay a card down that borders another country already laid down. For example, the UK borders Ireland, so you can only lay one down next to the other

Some cointries have no bordering countries, so a transit card has to be used. These can be used to represent bodies of water, or other countries (even ones that are out already) and can be used to lay a country card down, that is otherwise impossible to play

There are additional rules you can use, like forcing people to lay their cards down in geographical accuracy, but I find this needlessley overcomplicates the game. There may also be times where you physically can't play a card, due to someone else not laying one of their own, thereby shutting you out of the game for a bit.

Overall, Mapominoes is a very simple card game, which can be combined with other packs, to create an even bigger finished product.

(Still) nail-biting landing scenes

A giant leap for mankind?

It's the Apollo 11 mission. That's it. No annoying voiceover from Clooney or Gosling spouting truisms (provided you ignore Walter Kronkite's occasional excellent and sonorous TV commentary). Just extraordinary footage from July 1969 of the 8 day mission and the days immediately preceeding (and in the end titles, following) that historic event.

A brilliant documentary that deserves to be seen at the cinema, and on as big a screen as you can manage to find. It only seems to have a limited UK release (I saw it at our local Picturehouse cinema), but it is really worth going out of your way to catch if you can. A film that properly provides you with a view of our blue oasis of a world from afar: and critically what we might be doing to it.

I also thought it should make humanity feel rather ashamed of itself: if man took those great leaps in the 10 years after JFK's famous speech, what has really been achieved in manned space travel in the 50 years since? On Earth's report card it should say "C- .... could do better".
