edit: consider donating to https://github.com/sponsors/thaytan who is working on open source WMR support :)

edit: we have official word from m$ that support will be dropped on november 1, 2026

In looking through old screenshots, this one from Twitter a few years ago made me think of you.

I hope you have a great holiday!

Okay so phone... We need to learn that my back is not my face. Why my phone just tried to face ID when I literally had my back to it is something I will never understand. I will also never understand why it can do that, but also sometimes completely ignore the fact that my, you know, actual face, is right in front of it.

Right then. The #CrossBorderRail Board Game prototype is ready!

All the info here:
https://crossborderrail.trainsforeurope.eu/boardgame/

You can download the files for the board, cards, rules, and there are printing instructions too.

Try it out and tell me what you think!

EDIT: PDF, ODT and DOCX files now available for all the game docs
