    Gonna bring Dixit and Blokus to a kid’s party this saturday. Next week my purchase of Azul Summer Pavillion should arrive, making it a trio of games to “bring to places and get people hooked”

    It’s always fun to make people realize just how much variety boardgames have. Now I just need to find or create a gaming group for friday game nights, since I’ve got enough stuff to keep a group busy for a few months

        The kids are very small, ~3yo, so they won’t play, but the parents are 27+ 😆

          Ahh yeah 3 is still a bit young to start indoctrination into the holy church of analog gaming outside of candy land. I’ve had great success hooking non-gamers in with pretty innocuous stuff like Just One and That’s so Clover! so if you’ve got those bring them along too! Harder to refuse a 10 minute experience with a 1 minute explainer :o

            I didn’t know That’s so Clover, looks super interesting, will definitely go into my wishlist!

            My dad has Happy Salmon, which would be a fun game to bring as well, but he’s living some 900km away nowadays
