It's pretty normal for a cruise ship to drop off tourists for an excursion. These ships just happen to fly in the sky instead of on the water. :)

Really enjoying Wingspan Pocket over the past few days. Received my copy on Thursday and I’ve already played 4 times. I enjoy the full game more, but there’s a lot to like in this smaller and simplified version. Another great game from @stonemaiergames.com.

Played Wingspan Pocket for the first time tonight. Really like this take on the game by @stonemaiergames.com . We followed this up with Finspan including the expansion. This was a really close game with scores of 106, 107, and 108. #boardgames

That's correct. If mechs were real, they would be made of metal, hence metal mechs. The parallel would be character minis made of...flesh? Cloth? We're sticking with the nice plastic minis already included in the game.
