Tried a new board game this week and was not impressed. Lots of flaws. 1. Only one scenario - Most games these days have dozens of scenarios you can play. This game starts the same every time. Very low replayability. Will probably get old fast. 2. No campaign mode - Every game

LAFRA has not scrapped marriage value. The enfranchisement provisions haven’t even been commenced, let alone consulted on, as @mtpennycook promised in November 2024 for last summer.
@torysc_mout @Manterik @HarryScoffin @Dickster27 @FreeLeasehlders LAFRA has already scrapped marriage value & a consultation on deferment rates, ie the rules around how much FH gets paid for an extension, was due last summer. That consultation needs to happen ASAP & it needs to defend leaseholders.
