nice way of learning about the history of groningen, some "did you know"s were missing context towards the end, and could be explored with further detail. the games were largely fun and challenging, except the counting of the blue tiles. that was confusing and honestly did not provide much historical context. thank you for a nice game, we enjoyed it a lot, good luck finishing it.
