Second hand September ! Always a good idea to recycle and reuse things! And you never know what you might find in a charity shop. It's one of the best places to look for eg an unusual flower vase (personal experience!) and great book choices too www.cravenherald.co.uk/news/2651870...

I bought the game "Hnefatafl" (viking chess) from the Lofotr Viking Museum on Lofoten, Norway a few years ago The king sits in the middle of the board, guarded by white pawns. The objective is for the king to reach one of the 4 corners. The opposing player's objective is to capture the king.
Lofotr Viking Museum -
Meet the Vikings at Lofotr. Smell the tar, taste the food, feel the history. The Vikings have been awaiting you for more than 1000 years.

Great stuff ! I enjoyed watching The Six Million Dollar code - not exactly about gaming at all but about the German programmers of another very interesting computer programme - no spoilers here but it's worth a watch !
German Embassy London@uk.diplo.de · 3w ago🎮 Cologne is hosting Gamescom, the world's biggest gaming convention with more than 1,700 exhibitors attending. Germany is the largest games market in Europe and the fifth-largest worldwide, with approximately 900 companies in the German games industry.
That is a great idea - thank you to all who help us
