I love this game! It is very similar to 7 Wonders in that you progress through the game by evolving or upgrading your technology. For example, you might start with the ability to farm papyrus. This will eventually lead you to be able to make paper. Once you have paper, you can then learn to write and create poetry, and so on. I love that it shows the hole process broken down. Another thing I thought was really wonderful about this game was that throughout the entire rule book, players are referred to using feminine pronouns. The fact that the creators of this game are aware that there are female gamers is awesome, and that there are female gamers that are into technology, was totally cool. Mad kudos to the creators for that!

A film that had passed me by up until now I found to be a bit of a mixed bag. The central plot is very interesting and the theme of a fear of the power of technology and being only a few button clicks away from starting a war is still relevant and timely today. What I did struggle with it being a 1980’s film about computer technology it is of course now incredibly outdated. I laughed at the WOPR , the enormous war games simulator with its sinister blinking lights. The storytelling is strong though and a fresh faced Matthew Broderick makes for a likeable lead but I think it might actually be a rare film that I would prefer to see a contemporary remake of than watch again.
