Hello, fellow board gamers! Up next in our introduction\nseries is Noller. He does have a first name, David, but most of us at game\nnight just call him Noller or Next Time Noller. \nWhen Noller isn\u2019t playing board games with the TCBG, he can be found\nleading a board game group for his high school students or playing the\nsaxophone with a local band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did your board\ngame journey start?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was in an R.P.G. group and Kyle joined that group, and he invited me to board game night. That was 3 years ago. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How long have you\nbeen playing board games?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from Monopoly, 3 years. It was never a thing until I joined this group <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite\nstyle of board game? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worker placement games.  I don\u2019t love euro style. The games have to be pretty. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Your favorite board\ngame(s)? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite games change every week. Two of the consistent ones are Lords of Waterdeep and Little Flower Shop. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What type of gamer\nare you? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m Next Time Noller. I always have a play a game and about 60 percent through I figure out how to play it, so I\u2019ll do better next time.  (Author\u2019s note: if you play a game with Noller, and it is his first time playing the game, the chances are really high that you will hear him say \u201cNext time\u201d. Hence, the Next Time Noller. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What has been your\ngreatest achievement in board games<\/strong>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I beat Kyle at Splendor on the very last turn.  And getting to the point where I understand the mechanics of a game quicker. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What direction would\nyou like to see TCBG go in the future? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

More time to play. I liked that we are reaching out to bring in new people. More people come now that didn\u2019t come a year ago. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
