This is one of several board game shops that were operating in Prague in the early 2010's, where I would sometimes find useful teaching materials (I taught English at the time). This one was mostly of interest to an old friend who was travelling with me, so we stopped by to see if they were interested in anything. Pasaz Rokoko is actually connected directly to the complex of tunnels associated with Palac Lucerna, including Pasaz Lucerna, but for some reason is considered to be separate. What is true is that Lucerna is a much larger complex than is obvious from the street. It was actually designed by the architect Vaclav M. Havel (1897-1979), who was the father of future Czech President Vaclav Havel (1936-2011). According to Wikipedia, anyway, Palac Lucerna is still owned by the Havel family, specifically Dagmar Havlova, the younger Vaclav Havel's sister-in-law, rather than widow (they both have the same name).

I didn't end up buying this railroad-themed board game, but the name is obviously a reference both to "Mogul" meaning a rich business person, in this case a railroad tycoon, as well as to the 2-6-0 Mogul steam locomotive type under the Whyte classification system.

Whoa!! :-)

Another hippy cootie! :-)

Cooties go psychedelic!!! :-)

Just because. :-)

A conspiracy between the Cooties, the Freemasons, the aliens, and Dr. Evil??? :-)

"Yeah, I asked her out, and she kicked me right in the thorax." :-) :-) :-)

"Hey!! Did I tell you about the kid who shared hats??!!" :-)

"* Cootie is also the name of a table game, the object of which is to be the first player to complete a comic model of an insect from the supplied plastic parts, as determined by the roll of a die. The patent is held by Milton Bradley. The bug was animated in The Outer Limits episode The Zanti Misfits (episode)." -Wikipedia

The cooties are coming!! :-) No, actually, I just posed them. :-) :-) :-)
