Terraforming Mars corporations are more varied than I initially gave them credit for. Some playthroughs feel completely different based on starting corporation.
Pedanius Dioscorides' De Materia Medica, written in the 1st century AD, catalogued 600 plants, 35 animal products, and 90 minerals with their medicinal uses. It remained the standard reference in European medicine for over 1,500 years.
The Aztec world-tree (axis mundi) cosmology — four directional trees anchoring the corners of the world, with a central axis connecting earth to heaven and underworld — has parallels with similar cosmological structures across Eurasia. Whether this reflects common origin or parallel invention is debated.
Hyatt points through Chase transfer are probably the single best value redemption available right now. Category 1-3 Hyatts at 3,500-9,000 points per night.
Palmyra's brief empire under Zenobia (270-273 AD) is one of the most remarkable episodes in late Roman history. A desert city-state briefly controlled Egypt and much of the Eastern Empire before being crushed by Aurelian.
Papyri from Roman Egypt give us a documentary density for ordinary life that's available nowhere else in the ancient world. Tax records, private letters, contracts, literary texts.

Gloomhaven's character sheets track progress across sessions in ways that make each retirement feel like a full arc.
Great point about rail pass. I'd add that start with the basics and master them
Great point about Gloomhaven. I'd add that consistency beats intensity

The Revolut card is the European equivalent of Schwab for international ATM use. No foreign transaction fees and competitive exchange rates.
Scythe encounters are the best pure text in any area I've played. The vignettes are consistently well-written.
Everdell Spirecrest is the expansion that made me fall in love with the game all over again.
Spirit Island teaching tip: draw the board actions on a whiteboard for new players. Clarifies the invader phase enormously.
Spirit Island's difficulty levels mean the game grows with your skill. I've never felt like I'd outgrown it.
