2020 Game Gift Guide!

Happy Holiday Season, gamers! I know some might say it’s still a bit early, but it’s never too early to pick up some gifts for the ones you love! For this year’s gift guide I decided to focus on great games to pick up for your non-gamer friends & family, because sometimes it can be hard to find something to entertain the whole family at get-togethers/visits when they aren’t as familiar with games. These games are easily accessible, have simple rules to learn and teach, and can be played by a wide range of ages! Since I know there’s plenty of us who might also not be able to travel for the holidays this year, I’ll also note which of these are good to play virtually over video conferencing. They are in no particular order, so check them out, see what sounds interesting, and pick some up for your family this holiday season! Happy Gaming~


A Board Game Poem

Even without a passport,
I can travel far and wide.
From USA to Germany,
the tickets are my guide.

I like to take the scenic route,
through trees and woods galore.
I wave to friendly woodland folk,
and collect wood, stone, and more.

I don’t fear getting lost,
for I mapped my path out well.
As long as I don’t get ambushed,
my trip should turn out swell.

Often my adventures,
take me traveling through time.
I try not to cause anomalies,
for that would be a crime.

In one of my favorite places,
I become a God.
I move, and build, and climb on up,
in my little quad.

When I’m feeling all worn out,
and in need of a drink,
I stop by the local tavern,
and give the wench a wink.

My life may seem spectacular,
or absurd with all these claims.
But my secret is, that it’s all true,
thanks to my board games.

What I Played This Week 10/19 – 10/25

Hey friends! Did you enjoy more gaming this past week? I hope so! Unless you were taking a break from gaming for whatever reason, in which case, I hope you enjoyed that! I played plenty this week, and am looking forward to the week ahead. Maybe some spooky games leading up to Halloween? We’ll see! Happy Gaming~

My Gaming Community

Howdy gamers! The Week 7 Challenge for the Tabletop Writer’s Day Initiative is to discuss your Gaming Community. It’s been a hard year to think about community because I (like many others) missed out on a bunch of conventions, FLGS events, and even weekly gaming nights. But last month my small, local group finally got back to weekly game nights, so I want to talk about them a little bit! Let’s get to it!
