Games Games Games! Back by (semi) Popular Demand!

A couple of years when I was updating this blog fairly regularly, I did a series of posts about games we loved. Apparently someone actually read that post, and I got a note today requesting I do some more posts regarding games. Seems she took some of our suggestions, bought them and really enjoyed the games! Since the fat man in the red suit is making his list right about now, I figured it was a great time to blow the dust off the site and comply with her wish. As you can see from the photos, we have one or two games that might work for just about anyone.

We have been game players for years. Our friends Bert and Meg are partly to blame for our addiction, but since my degree was in Therapeutic Recreation, I guess playing games for a living also set me up for a lifetime of gaming with friends.

There has never been a better time to get started playing games if you have not in the past! With the economy being the way it is now, for the price of movie tickets and dinner for a family of 3 or 4, you can invest in some really great games that will provide you YEARS of family fun for all members of your family. A night playing games with friends and family around the table is far more personal than sitting in the dark in a theater- and think of all the money you will save in the long run! Studies have shown that families that eat together, pray together and play together tend to stay together- so a small monetary investment in some board games now may lead to a much bigger pay-off further down the road.


This year I will focus on a variety of games, including a few that are internet based, great games for homeschoolers, fun games (that won't make you tear your hair out) with kids, as well as some that are geared more toward teens/adults. There will also be a post about finding great deals on games and how to get a collection started without breaking the bank, as well as a special post about games that you can find at most any store. I might even have a special guest or two to provide their input from time to time.

Also, go to the sidebar and click on the link for my previous posts about games. That will be a good refresher about what remains some of our favorite games, as well as a great website to buy the harder to find games- www.timewellspent.org.

So, feel free to pass this link along to anyone you might think will be interested! I will post something every day or two for the next couple of weeks.
