I love it when I’m flipping through the newspaper while I eat breakfast and come across an article on board games! Even when it covers something I know well – like today’s article on the Family Benefits of Board Games – it’s just great to see it published for more people to come to understand.

According to our 10 year old son, Caleb, Relic Expedition is “awesome!”
We had a chance to play a prototype of the board game Relic Expedition this week and Caleb loved it. Getting a prototype of a board game is something we typically don’t do.

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 don’t think we’ve had a board game that our boys have begged me to play as much as Descent: Journeys in the Dark (2nd edition). It has been such a hit at our house that I have many praises for the game!
