How common is it to take Latin/ancient Greek as a subject at school?

EDIT: in Netherlands. Sorry for being unspecific.
TL;DR-version: About 6% of all Dutch secondary school students.

Long version: Latin and Ancient Greek are mandatory when taking the 'gymnasium'-version of secondary school in the Netherlands. We have three main types of secondary education here: VMBO (preparatory mid-level vocational education), Havo (higher general continued education) and VWO (lit.: preparatory scientific education).
The VMBO consists of four types of education, all preparing for the tertiary education of the MBO. This goes from a very practical education to a more theoretical education.
The Havo prepares for the HBO (Higher Vocational Education), comparable with a vocational university in some countries, and in English they're called 'University of Applied Sciences'. No idea what that's supposed to mean. They issue bachelor and master degrees, but not doctorates.
The VWO consists of two main branches: the atheneum and, finally, the gymnasium. Both will give you a VWO-diploma and both give you access to university. Around 20% of Dutch students follow VWO-education, and around 25% of them follow the gymnasium-track. VWO requires Dutch, English and a second foreign language, which can be French, German, Frisian, Spanish, Turkish, Arabic, Russian, Chinese, Hebrew and Papiamento in an atheneum-track, and Latin or Ancient Greek in the gymnasium-track. Some schools only offer gymnasium education, some offer both (and students can switch if they want).

I still have 1st Edition Intrigue, will the booster packs be there as well?
I've heard that they won't be available, sadly.

Also: Makelaar? Huh. That doesn't seem to make any sense as a translation for Courtier, right?

Talking about awful translations, I really dislike 'Nieuwe Versie' for Remake. Like, come on. 'Vernieuwen' would be way better. I think they should've seen the trend of verbs being used for tfb, instead of it being a weird noun. I feel like it shouldn't be thát hard to translate a game like Dominion? But somehow they screw up a lot. Like, how did they not read a list of improvements for the second edition, so as to not make the mistake with Moneylender, Throne Room etc. By the way, didn't they accidentally print Moneylender correctly the first time?

I'll just give a bit of explanation of the Dutch things, because history is fun!

Queen Wilhelmina: First Queen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (well, unless you count Emma, but she was a regent for Wilhelmina technically). She is most famous for the Second World War, where she fled to England when the nazi's invaded. From there she became heavily involved with the Dutch resistance. There are more than 200 streets named after her (only counting -straat, not counting -road, -drive etc.).

Grote Rivieren (lit. Big Rivers): The three main rivers of the Netherlands are called 'de Grote Rivieren': the Rhine, Meuse and Waal. Because the Netherlands is situated in a river delta, these rivers have been historically important as trading routes, and remain important until this day, helped by the Port of Rotterdam (the largest port in Europe). The Grote Rivieren also function as a cultural divide, with 'Boven (above) de Rivieren' and 'Onder (below) de Rivieren' as a way of saying 'Northerner' or 'Southerner'

Polder: Around 17% of the country is made up of polders, land that has been reclaimed on water. Most of them used to be lakes (like the Haarlemmermeerpolder, where the main airport Schiphol is located), but the most famous (and biggest) is Flevoland, an entire province which has reclaimed. The Afsluitdijk now is the barrier between the sea and the (new) lake. In the lake, a part is drained to form Flevoland.

De Zeven Provinciën (lit. the Seven Provinces): This is the name of a bunch of ships, but looking at the model in-game, they probably mean this one. This used to be Michiel De Ruyter's main ship when he kicked the English' butts in the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665-67). The name comes from the fact that the Netherlands used to be a republic of seven united provinces (Holland, Utrecht, Friesland, Groningen, Zeeland, Gelderland and Overijssel), after defeating the Spanish in the Dutch Revolt.

Radio Oranje (lit. Radio Orange): This was the main line of communication between the London government-in-exile and the Dutch Resistance during the Second World War. Queen Wilhelmina gave famous speeches on this radio channel, that could only be listened to via illegal radio's (the nazi's had confiscated all radio's at this point). The Queen was first seen as a coward for fleeing to London, but with her speeches, she became very popular once more. The name Orange comes from the French town of Orange. William of Nassau inherited this Principality, becoming William of Orange-Nassau (van Oranje-Nassau, also known as William the Silent). This lead to the royal family (yes, during the republic we had a (kind-of) royal house still. It was very confusing) becoming known as 'the Oranjes'. This is also why Dutch athletes wear orange during their matches.

Oh, just checked the image on that link I send. You can see a game being set up... With Secret Chamber in the Kingdom. Great work 999games, great work.

I think it's just an old photo though.

I believe I've seen a Second Edition Intrigue, recognisable because it said "Expansion" on the box. This one: https://www.999games.nl/dominion-intrige-kaartspel.html. Bol.com doesn't have it though, so not sure how available it is.

I was losing hard (83 to 0, I believe), and wasn't even trying anymore, just buying random stuff from the Black Market. We were joking in the chat about how badly I was losing. Then I Cursed him, and told him 'I win, you have the most purples now'. And then.. He resigned?

It was a weird experience.

As expected, it has been delayed AGAIN, this time to January 10, proving that 999 Games really doesn't give a shit about their costumers.
Well, there goes my Christmas present

I personally own Intrigue, Dark Ages and Adventures, and plan on getting Empires next (if it ever releases in Dutch, which I'm starting to doubt, but that's another story).

This seems like it should be coming shortly? Then again, the page has been like this for... About two months?
