For a number of years now, we have had a family tradition of getting together at least one or two times a week, after dinner, to play a variety of board games, card games, and just plain game games. It's been a great way to bring the family together in a form that doesn't involve a computer, tv, or movie screen! Not that those aren't legitimate and often necessary forms of entertainment, but the "face time" inherent in playing a board game together really can't be beat.

I believe when I went through our closets, shelves, cupboards, and varous other hidey-holes, I found in excess of 70-some games!

Maybe we need to go to Gameaholics Anonymous, but hopefully this just means that we've found a great way to create quality family time. And now I'd like to share that with you!
