Select spots in north-central Kyōto: the Buddhist temple Chōtokuji (長得寺) with its unusual okame zakura (オカメ桜) cherry blossoms, the World Heritage Shintō shrine Shimogamo Jinja (下賀茂神社) with lingering plum blossoms, and the Kyōto Imperial Palace (京都大宮御所) with its spectacular early-blossoming weeping or hanging sakura (枝垂れ桜) cherry blossoms. Several varieties of sakura at different stages converge for a brief moment as spring begins.

어제 올린 벚꽃 사진은 수수한 편이었으니 이번에는 화려하게 찍힌 사진으로.

추워지고 있지만, 봄은 다시 오니까, 살아가야지.

Oh, , du Brettspielliebe meines Lebens! Wie sehr freue ich mich, dir im neuen Gewand mit alten (und neuen!) Mechanismen zu begegnen.

Wer das Original kennt, kann direkt einsteigen. Diesmal bauen wir schöne Landschaften in zur . Und damit gehen wunderbarerweise auch noch einige Änderungen einher! So bekommt das bekannte Brettspiel einen neuen Twist.

So entspannt, so schön 😍

Für 1-6 Spielende (ich finde 1-2 perfekt) ab 10 Jahren.
