Hello again, gamers! We’ve previously talked about what you can do if you are headed to enjoy your first game night. But we haven’t talked about what to do if you are the one hosting the board game night. So, let’s delve into that a little bit, shall we?
Continue readingHey ya’ll! I hope the week has treated you well. How about another interview with a member of the TCBG? Today’s subject is Hayden. Hayden has been joining us for Sunday afternoon game nights for about a year.

I love October. I wouldn’t even hesitate to call myself basic: cider, donuts, warm sweaters, and pumpkin-spiced anything. It’s all a big part of what makes fall one of my favorite seasons. It also doesn’t hurt that October contains one of my favorite holidays which is Halloween but not for the reasons you may think.

What’s on the docket for today, you ask? Let’s talk about co-op (cooperative) games . I’ll admit that here in the A.P.A.T.T. household, we don’t have a lot of co-op games. We have a couple that we pull out when we have larger groups of people over, but when it is just Number One and me at the house, we stick with non-co-op games.
There are some things that I like about co-op games and some things that I don’t like about them.

Check out what you can expect to see at our tables after October and all the spooky games have had their time.

Esther has been playing games with the Traverse City Board Gamers since the very beginning of the group back in 2013. She was the first winner of our annual Ticket To Ride Tournament. You’ve likely seen her name pop up in posts that have the group stats about plays and wins and loses.

I’ve met many through our Game Night meetups from all walks of life. It would seem that board games are the nondiscriminatory glue that binds us all. I’m reminded of this upon meeting these gamers as I get to know them more on a personal level.
