"venti" is the largest size drink you can get at Starbucks.

I'm playing in the "huge" size.  I like exploring!

For the uninitiated/uneducated, "venti" would be how big approximately?

Probably derived from Starbucks. The "venti" is the large, 20 ounce size cup.

So he's either playing on a board made of coffee, a board weighing 20 ounces, or a large board.

Of course the Mac fan-boy would make a Starbucks reference.   ::)   :P

^^ the irony there of course is that I hate coffee

I hate it when another Civ beats me to a wonder.  I wish you could chose to either take the production in cash or apply it towards another build.

If you go to the Steam Workshop for Civ, there is a mod that will notify you that you are ahead or that another civ is beating you towards building a wonder. It won't let you take the production in cash or apply it towards another build, like you want, but I've been known to clear nearby forests for the production bump if it's a wonder I really want and I'm behind. The mod is called Wonder Race.

Good to know, thanks for the heads up.

I am gone for 2 weeks and Bayo hasn't posted a new one yet???? WTH???
My doctor wrote me a prescription for daily sex.

My wife insists that it says dyslexia but what does she know.

It's great watch an AAR on a game you love. I take my lumps in the wonder races if I lose. Just note where it is built and plot revenge later.
