7 board games that fit in your luggage Board games can be the perfect way to have fun on rainy days or relax at a hotel while travelling. However, carrying bulky board games in your luggage can be challenging. Here are a few suggestions to help you travel light: 1. Bandido. Team up with your fellow players and use your cards to cleverly place tunnels that trap a prisoner in the middle of an escape attempt. 2. Dobble/Spot it! Sharpen your powers of observation and quickly spot the unique matching symbol between every two cards before anyone else. It’s simple but exciting! 3. Hanabi. Use other players’ clues to guess your cards and place them in the correct order to create beautiful fireworks without ever seeing your deck. 4. 6 nimmt/Take 6! Anticipate your opponent’s plays to avoid lining up the sixth card (in ascending order) and collecting bullheads. The player who collects the fewest bullheads wins. 5. Sushi Go! Assemble the highest-paying plate by selecting the best sushi cards as they’re passed from player to player. Be careful not to leave strong cards for your opponents. 6. Conspiracy: Abyss Universe. Recruit the most Powerful Lords while cleverly organizing your Senate Chamber (an inverted pyramid) to take control of the Oceanic Senate Assembly. 7. The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine. Set out to conquer space in this cooperative trick-taking game where communication is important but limited. Will you succeed in completing the 50 increasingly challenging missions?
3 reasons to visit your local ice cream shop this summer
The mercury’s rising, you’ve written your out-of-office reply for your vacation from work, and your favourite sunscreen is on sale tomorrow: holidays are just around the corner! If you enjoy gourmet tourism, you don’t have to get on a plane to discover new flavours. This summer, discover the pleasures of ice cream! Here are three reasons to visit your local ice cream shops. 1. High-quality local products The frozen treats in convenience store freezers certainly have their charms, but nothing beats homemade ice cream. Most local shops are committed to offering high- quality products made with natural ingredients. Keep your eyes open for seasonal flavours. Artisanal ice cream shops know how to put local berries to good use! 2. A fun excursion Whether with your kids, your partner or alone, a summer drive isn’t complete without a visit to an ice cream shop. These establishments are often close to other tourist attractions, so you can easily make a day of it. Imagine admiring stunning views while savouring a strawberry sorbet or a maple milkshake. Sounds tempting, doesn’t it?
3. A place to meet and talk When it’s time to turn off your email notifications, why not recharge your batteries by having face-to-face conversations? Try striking up a conversation with the customers at the ice cream shop. If you want to update your social media feed with pictures of your adventures, ask a friendly holidaymaker to take a photo of you with your decadent ice cream sundae. Sweets are a great way to break the ice!
This summer, treat yourself and explore your local area, one frozen delight at a time!
If you need help finding a new game, ask the staff at your favourite bookstore or toy store for advice!
Climbing in all its forms: fun all summer long
Climbing is a fun and exciting sport that requires focus and strength. Whether beginner or experienced, climbing is a great way to challenge yourself. Want to give it a try? There are plenty of options to choose from.
You can practice climbing both indoors and outdoors. Starting indoors is an excellent way to prepare for outdoor adventures, as the coloured holds show you where to go. Bouldering gyms also offer a welcoming and encouraging environment. When climbing outside, you can enjoy stunning views while connecting with nature. However, you must deal with changing weather conditions, such as hot rocks in summer or slippery surfaces when it’s humid. There are various climbing techniques you can practice. Bouldering requires no ropes or harnesses and can be done alone in a gym. If you prefer sport climbing, start with top roping, where the rope is attached to
the top of the wall to prevent falls. Traditional climbing requires more experience because there are no fixed markers. This could be the most appealing option if you believe in leaving no trace.
If you’re new to climbing, it’s a good idea to take a few lessons to learn the basics and familiarize yourself with the terminology.
