Back to Family Board Game Playing

It was great last night to get back to some good family board game playing!
All 6 of us sitting around the table, eating caramel brownies, playing a board game, relaxing, and laughing.

Not feeling stressed or anxious about looming decisions like we’ve had the last few weeks was nice. Even though I’ve had a game or two with the boys here and there, we haven’t all sat down together for a board game in a while. And it was super nice to take the time to play together again.

Teach kids how to work

As much as we like to promote family board games, we also realize that life isn’t all fun and games. Spending your time just playing games all day won’t amount to a very fulfilling life. And as parents, our job is to help our kids lead a productive and fulfilling life.

That’s why one of our most important roles as parents is to teach our kids to value work.

I love being a father

I saw a video online yesterday about fathers that I’m so eager to share.
I know in the U.S. we don’t celebrate Father’s Day until June, but I love sharing thoughts about fathers all the time.

Painting Board Game playing pieces adds fun

Most family board games come with fantastic playing pieces and items that enhance the game experience. After all, one of the things that makes board games fun to play over digital games are the physical components in the game. Players get to move cool playing pieces and markers around to accomplish their objectives.

128 Different Games Played in 2012!

What a year for games!
In 2012 we played a ton of different board games, card games, dice games, and party games – 128 to be exact!
That’s a lot of games.

At the start of last year I set a goal to play over 100 different games. For each of the 2 previous years, I had played 98 different games. So I set the goal to get over the 100 mark in 2012.

Goal accomplished!

Great Board Games to Go Around

We hope you had a fantastic Christmas break and are looking forward to a nice New Year’s break as well (if even for only 1 day). We had a great time with family and friends and even got to play a few board games during the festivities.
