Попробовали относительно новую настолку "Космические дальнобойщики". Автор — Влаада Хватил, тот самый чех, который создал великую и нашумевшую Codenames.
Конкретно Galaxy Trucker он создал ещё раньше, но в какой-то момент решил чуть-чуть доработать и выпустить переиздание. В игре вы сначала собираете из тайлов космические корабли по определённым правилам. У кораблей есть, например, пушки, защитные поля, двигатели, отсеки для грузов и экипажа.
Затем летите доставлять грузы, и каждый ход тянется карта с происшествием. Это может быть что-то нейтральное (вы просто летите вперёд), что-то хорошее (вы забираете грузы, за которые потом вам заплатят) и что-то плохое (метеоритный дождь или нападение пиратов). Для того, чтобы справиться с разными проблемами, у вас на корабле должно быть подходящее оборудование, ещё и расположенное нужным образом. Прикольно сделана механика попадания метеоритов: точка удара задаётся броском кубиков, и ты реально каждый раз надеешься, что космический камень не попадёт в уязвимое место. Иногда такими ударами или, например, выстрелами пиратов сносит половину корабля, приходится дальше лететь на обломке.
Игра простая, но создаёт нужный экшен. Ещё за сравнительно небольшую цену в коробке много качественных компонентов. Вполне себе неплохой вариант для завершения настольного вечера после какой-нибудь более тяжёлой евростратегии.

✈️Bali expects 2.79 million tourists on New Year's Eve
📰 The Ministry of Transportation says 2.79 million visitors will arrive on the island during the Christmas and New Year holidays. This is traditionally the peak season on the island.
📍 Most of the travelers will arrive via the airport – 1.5 million people. Another 1.2 million will arrive via the Gilimanuk port, which connects Bali to the islands to the west, and 90,000 via the Padang Bay port to the east.
🚘 Bali's infrastructure, especially transportation, will face a major strain. Traffic is expected to increase by 20%.
🤔 Local authorities are already proposing exotic measures to combat traffic congestion – banning cars with license plates from other islands. However, it is problematic to put this into practice. The regional authorities have no such powers, and the central authorities will obviously not agree to it.
🎄 For everyone who is going to visit Bali for the holidays it is recommended to choose areas that have everything you need for a vacation. This will help to minimize movement around the island, and your mood will be much better.

The increase in fines for a number of traffic violations will come into force on January 1, 2025
📌"In Article 2, the word" Law "should be replaced with the words "Federal Law", the words "after thirty days from the date of its official publication" should be replaced with the words "from January 1, 2025," the text of the amendment posted in the Duma electronic database says.
📌Under this law, failure by a driver to perform the duty to insure his civil liability, as well as driving a vehicle, if the Compulsory third Party Insurance (CTP) policy is deliberately absent, entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 800 rubles.
📌Earlier, the Parliament of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic submitted to the State Duma a bill that proposes to establish a fine for repeated violation of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, namely the absence of a driver's CTP policy, up to 5 thousand rubles.
CTP policy means Compulsory Third Party Insurance Policy

Social media is a key source for online sales, with 64% of internet users shopping through these platforms, accounting for one-third of total online sales. The significant loss from unconverted traffic prompts stores to seek solutions, making platforms that improve conversion rates highly valuable.
