After 5 years: realise everyone calls it Jirák

UK people, where do you buy boardgames when you don't want to support Bezos? Do they have EU shipping

👉 Microsoft services are extensively used by other Israeli military outfits.

👉 Microsoft will try to use this to hand-wave all of that away, and it must not be allowed to do so.
