Nashi v Solsberi (Our people in Salisbury)<\/em> is a simple table game with a reference to the infamous “sightseeing trip to Salisbury”<\/a> by two suspected Russian intelligence officers\u00a0Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov in March 2018, who are believed to have been involved in the attempt to poison\u00a0Russian ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia. The game is intended “for 2 players, ages 6+years” and features only two game pieces, a die and\u00a0 a board with a stylized map of Europe and a track that starts in Moscow and ends in Salisbury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
