Purim katan

[magid]

A friend pointed out on Facebook that today we play Settlers of Purim Katan, and of course I had to riff off that. It was obvious to me it would more likely be Cities and Knights of Purim Katan, since then there would be knights to protect us from rampaging Shushanites, plus walled cities to live in. Wheat and sheep for the celebratory meal, wood for the gallows, and stone and brick for infrastructure. Then I realized it would also mean there would be paper to write the story down, coins for matanot l'evyonim (and buying more hamantashen for mishloach manot :-), and cloth for costumes! Plus longest road makes it easier for the runners to get proclamation notifications out.
