Gygès is French, from Gigamic. This version is a nice implementation, good sound. The pieces are shared, you try to move to the end position, and you must start a move from the back line. The pieces have different heights indicating how far they can move, and they are not really stacked. When you move piece A and it lands on piece B, piece A moves the same distance as the height of piece B (there is another option).
Correction: One version of this old game was produced by Gigamic, but recently Blue Orange has been making the above deluxe version.

Why be Moral? Plato's 'Ring of Gyges' Thought Experiment

So how should one pronounce Gigamic, at least in French? The publisher pronounces it jeegameek, like this.
And here is how to pronounce Gygès in French, according to Bruno Cathala. You can also catch it here, maybe with some fiddling.
(L'accent grave, if you're interested)
In modern Greek it's this.
Deluxe in French is de luxe, of luxury. It's pronounced like this. Some raison d'être too.
The word for ring is anneau, pronounced annoe. Also bague, pronounced bag, is more in the sense of jewellery. Ce ne sont pas des bijoux.
French dude explains the situation.
Mise-en-scène is mentioned in a video or two. It is used in English in the context of film or theatre. In French in the context of boardgames it apparently means setup.

Anything interesting there?
Let's start with the Tunguska event, when an extraterrestrial object made a very powerful explosion over Siberia in 1908. That was here in Krasnoyarsk Krai, here in the video. |
And speaking of Krasnoyarsk Krai (not to be confused with Krasnodar Krai), there's the Otyken musical group. Reminds me of muppets. The Chulym people are in southern Siberia. The language is almost completely extinct. |

Sounds calm to me. On the other hand, I've been there.
Beyond The Map's Edge solution
Solved by Wile E. Coyote.
Have treasure hunts, or at least aspects of them, been ruined by artificial intelligence?
Q: Many people in the treasure hunt community have one thing in common. What is it?
A: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
That came as a surprise to me. I got it from this. Two and a half minutes. Interesting.
There's also this excitable North Dakotan. Siblings Ema and Jam on Treasure Hunt With Us have their yapathon.
There is excitement because the Beyond The Map's Edge clock cipher has been decisively solved. You can get it from the horse's mouth here. Or you can get an explanation from cowlazars. The Beyond The Map's Edge treasure hunt book, BTME, was revealed to the world in the Gold and Greed "documentary" on Netflix about the Forest Fenn hunt. Author Justin Posey presented this and that, with a clock showing different times in the background. Mr. Posey recently clarified that of the eight times the last two are irrelevant.
Mr. Posey kind of winged the clock cipher when he was on the set of Gold and Greed and there was a clock. The life of a treasure hunt designer!
NEW
News flash: The Internet loves drama. There appears to be a split, some beef in the treasure hunt world. There is A) Cowlazars, the likeable stars of the treasure hunt world, and there is
B) treasure hunt creator Justin Posey, his pals in the Misfits group, matriarch Jenny Kyle, and Ema and Jam at Treasure Hunt With Us. I'm sure there's a lot of nuance, complexity, and back story
to all this.
Clumsy fellow, at least out of water. Hence the name. You can hit wikipedia for the etymology.
