Matching cutlery

It just feels wrong. Unfinished. Somehow, maybe even unnatural.

The subtle difference. The slight off-setting uniqueness.

No, I don’t like it. I guess it is a trigger of mine. I embrace it. But I promise to work on it.

But, I mean, just look here…

I am all for inclusion and diversity – I even enjoy non-matching coffee mugs and the odd personalized plate. But mismatching cutlery is just wrong. It has no home and should not be allowed.

Case in point…

Exactly. As I told you some months ago, I managed to buy my third copy of Beta Forks. But having three Beta copies alongside on Unlimited copy was just not going to make it.

When I play Fork, I play four. We are not here – or there – to not copy everything on the spot. Four is the right number. So of course, I had to find the last one.

I am almost exclusively buying from Danish card dealers these years – for a couple of reasons, one being that I then force the market to be a lot smaller, and I am not always able to find everything I am looking for, and thus I save some money. In theory at least.

Anyway, that was the reason why I had endured the blight of missing the last Fork for almost a year. But then came to my rescue once more, the great Phillip Kellerstrøm. I am not quite able to figure out, how he gets the awesome cards, he always has for sale, but he is always good for some extreme bangers.

And thus also this January, when, suddenly, he had another Beta Fork for sale. I was quick to gather the slim crumble on the bottom of the treasury after a long holiday season and go for it.

So glad I did:

What a great playset of cards to be able to put together.

I am trying to figure out, if this should be my clue to celebrate 2026 as year of the Fork. It may just be…
