In order to keep the Weekly History Challenge operating, we need to greatly increase our base of players. We have had less than 10 players per week over the last few months, which is not enough to support the cost. I realize this might be to your disadvantage, however if we have more people playing and buying from us or our affiliate partners, then we can offer better prizes and continue to operate. So, please tell your friends about us by clicking here.
