I haven't traveled abroad in one year. [1] I haven't travelled more than 80 km from home in two months. Considering that in the previous six years I have travelled more than 20000 kilometers every year, my feet are itching to travel again. I can'

This time I'm going to present a Hanabi, a cooperative card game. It's super small, can easily be taken on trips to be played between 2-4 players. Each player is a fireworks maker in China, who have messed up the fireworks, right before the show is

The Christmas party organized by Google in Zurich this year was... drumroll a private Star Wars: The Force Awakens screening. They rented out half of Arena Cinemas for half a day and they invited all Zooglers to watch the movie. Normally I don't go to see movies in
