Module of the Week
Inline Entity Form
Provides a widget for inline management (creation, modification, removal) of referenced entities.
The primary use case is the parent -> children one (product display -> products, order -> line items, etc.), where the child entities are never managed outside the parent form.
Existing entities can also be referenced.

Gaming with Abby
Socially Distanced Board Game Edition, Part 2
Players chart the land by drawing Tetris-like shapes of villages, forests, farms and more on their map sheet. Each of the four seasons brings unique scoring conditions. The Dragon contest your claims with their outposts, and so you must draw your lines carefully to reduce their influence. The cartographer with the highest reputation at the end of the year wins!
In the same genre as Metro X, my last recommended game, Cartographers is a “roll n’ write” where you draw cards and then color in your own personal map. Its rules are a little more complicated, with different scoring rules for each round and game, but the sheer fun of plopping a purple goblin horde right in the middle of your neighbor’s farmland gives this game a competitive edge that Metro X lacks. Artsy players can pull out their nice colored pencils and add unlimited creative flourishes to their strategic masterpieces.
