Make the most of our time with our kids
This week our oldest son, Trevor, graduates from high school.
Wow – where has the time gone?

One Night Ultimate Werewolf – is one night enough?
Is one night enough to track down werewolves roaming around the village?

Tetris in a board game = FITS
Tetris was the only video game that my wife was ever hooked on. When she was younger, she got hooked on Tetris and played it a ton. When passing symbols on signs along the road, her mind would immediately imagine how the shapes would fit into place in Tetris.
So when I first saw the board game FITS a few years ago, I had a big hunch that it would be a game that my wife would enjoy playing.
And I was right!
