I dag är det Mikael Agricoladagen, eller finska språkets dag. Agricola var rektor på katedralskolan i Åbo och sedan Finlands första protestantiske biskop från 1554. 1543 gav han ut den första tryckta boken på finska, en Abc-bok. 1548 gavs hans översättning av Nya Testamentet ut. Boken tryckets i Stockholm.
Scored 49 points again in Agricola using a beefed up Day Labourer but it wasn’t good enough as Raphael had a baking combo that kept him fed and gave him free actions to sneak past me to 52. #agricola #boardGames
Scissor Dance: The Menstruum of Silver and Gold, 2009
"How many angels must cry for silver and gold?"
Lenny Kravitz
"I remember a funny dreamer in Leipzig who pretended that gold, which is a pure fire, could not be opened or made potable except by another pure fire. In so saying he was not wrong, and it is so in truth. But I asked him what he understood by the fire that was to dissolve gold. He did not wish to tell me but said that it was a fire that only lights but does not burn. Now I well remembered that Paracelsus also wrote of such a fire, but whether that dreamer understood what was meant by it, I doubt very much, for in such a fire the angels and good spirits are also transformed."
First try of the #Agricola solo campaign and couldn't make it to 50 points to get past the first level 🤣. Clearly I have a lot to learn. So much fun though, will have another crack at it soon. #boardgames
#Agricola wow. Tried for first time yesterday, 1 solo to learn and 1 game with my son. We both just loved it. Can't wait to play again. It seemed more complicated until I started playing and then just made sense. What a gem.
Keen to try Caverna now, I heard that was great too. Anyone who has tried both, how do they compare? #boardgames
