Board games you say? Oh like Monopoly, Risk or maybe Candyland like I played when I was a kid? Not even close! I was lucky enough to be re-introduced to modern day board games by a friend of a friend about 7 years ago who invited a few people over one night to play a game called The Settles of Catan. Well with one play of that game I was hooked. I would frequently talk to him about games and now 7 years later I own nearly 200 games and play as often as I can.
If you are new to board gaming? Have to no fear, the show organizers have set up a ton of organized games and tournaments where fellow gamers have volunteered to teach new player rules and almost every board gamer I know will gladly walk you through the rules of a game…our attitude is the more people we teach, the more people will have around to play games with.
