board game. noun: fun

You know that moment when someone asks you about some aspect of your life that you love to talk about? What a very rare moment. It’s like someone just said, “You’re awesome. Tell me how to be awesome too.”

Tonight, Ryan (brother-in-law) sent me a few texts asking about some strategy board games I recommend for him and Matthew (nephew) to play. Asking me about board games is asking me to define fun, so I let him have it. I told him about all levels of difficult strategy games and what I recommend for a smart 10-year-old. (Everything from Quoridor to Merchants & Marauders, basically.)

Anyway, Ryan asked, so I told. And now he wants to have me over to teach him and Matthew how to play a few games. After reading this short post alone, do you really think I turned him down?

There you go. That's how awesome I am. Ask me anytime you like.
