Play With Me

I’ve been playing board games since I could count. Even before I knew the value of money, mom and I would play our “game of the day” and just count the number of bills at the end to determine the winner. Whenever I’d cry because I’d owe money, she’d make change in as many bills as possible, calming explaining “you give me 1, and I give you 3 back”… so winning was always easy… and boardgames have since ruled my life.

So, you can well imagine my excitement when I was introduced to a new paradise for my competitive soul -- a boardgame room. For a small fee, you grab a game, and a beverage, sit in a cozy chair at a big table and get into some fierce competition with friends. It’s the best way to close a day, it’s something fun to look forward to, and is a healthier alternative to drinking or eating.. For me, it’s a constant source of entertainment, and happiness. Unless of course I lose, (given that without mom, the rules aren’t always stacked in my favour)…. but it rarely happens ;)
