PS. Yes, I'm being silly tonight. Probably too much candy. But some imaginative ones among you could use the idea and run with it in your next game(s).

If the Irish set up shop on Mars, would they be called Gaelictic Explorers? |

As already posted … I thought they already did … That is why it's called "The Red Planet" ?  |
| Cacique Caribe | 02 Apr 2018 9:48 a.m. PST |
Maybe their flag would be something like this, but with a hammer and sickle? Dan
