Wow!!! It ended in Jan 2022. Bummer. Amazing that you did it in one continuous shot. Thank you for efforts and warm wishes.

I actually have one of the El Salvador sets shown near the end of the video. Certainly didn't realize it was a museum worthy treasure. Honestly I'm not sure it is. It feels like it is made from balsa wood. The pieces are so light and tippy that you could never really play a game with it. Still I like it for its vibrant colors and unique design. It was a Christmas gift from my mother, who has since passed away, so it is priceless to me.

One take! The speaker should be proud of herself. Not easy to speak for 20 minutes straight like that.

[@jameschrzanowski4891]

A wheeled cart!?!? Really. Maybe one should know the history of what the pieces are representing. It is about war.
