The green group was the first one I spotted but then I got caught in the trap of thinking NIKE, HERMES and GUCCI all referred to fashion labels. After a couple of mistakes, it clicked that the first two were references to mythological Greek figures. As much as I like board games, I’ve never played any of those in the yellow group, so I didn’t make the connection.
