Tabletop gaming is one of my favorite social activities—bringing people together for strategic thinking, storytelling, and good-natured competition.

Why Board Games?

  • Unplugged connection: Face-to-face interaction without screens
  • Mental exercise: Strategy, planning, and adaptation
  • Shared experience: Creating memorable moments with friends
  • Variety: Different games for different moods and group sizes

Favorite Categories

Strategy Games Deep thinking, resource management, long-term planning. Best with 2-4 players who want to engage fully.

Party Games Light, social, and hilarious. Perfect for larger groups and mixed experience levels.

Cooperative Games Working together against the game itself. Great for building teamwork without competition stress.

Engine Builders Creating systems that grow more powerful over time. Satisfying progression loops.

Game Night Philosophy

  • Match the game to the group (not vice versa)
  • Teach patiently—everyone was a beginner once
  • Winning matters less than the experience
  • Keep a variety of lengths and complexity levels
