Do you have a bin of white elephant gifts in your home?
We do. It’s the basket we turn to when the holidays roll around and we’re invited to a white elephant gift exchange. Some years, we end up a few different parties with these types of gift exchanges.

“They look complicated.”
“They look like they’ll take a long time to play.”
“They look boring.”
Well, guess what? With Memoir ’44 that isn’t the case at all.
It’s very simple to play, can be played in 30 minutes, and is a lot of fun.
