Our flight to Japan first took us via Amsterdam where we had several hours to waste before our connecting flight. I had never been to Amsterdam before and Vanessa suggested we pop into the city to have a look around. She has been several times with work in the past and knew exactly where to take us (which is quite the role reversal as I am usually the one guiding Vanessa around!) We walked around the town and she mentioned that she visited a nice local boardgame store during a previous visit and that we should go check it out again. Obviously I was very excited. We found it straight away…
