Xenofera was one of those most pleasant surprises that sometimes happen when you break the seal on a board game.

It is not easy for others in this vast nation to fully understand the problems of its vast prairie region.

We can all agree that the end of Greyhound bus service on the prairies is a tragic loss. We should agree that this was a business decision unfortunately based on changing times and changing economies.
