Ever bought someone a Christmas gift and then when it comes you love it so much you want to keep it yourself? (I mean, how much do I really love my niece anyway?)

Am playing The Game of the Goose tonight, one of the most popular board games in early modern Europe. I’ve printed out the 1598! Italian version from the British Museum. Like snakes and ladders except with gambling! And geese! Will report back….
