LAST CALL FOR INDIE GAMES! Tomorrow I will finalise the games we will show off on our huge Family Gaming Zone booth at GamesCom and PAX West. Shout now if you have a suggestion or have made a great game for families.

Need some help on great competitive family games for our big GamesCom booth. We'd usually go to Towerfall, Cricket Through the Ages and Boomerang Fu but in Germany these are all USK 12. What great 6-player Switch games would you suggest for us? (Also we are open to new indie game suggestions)
I don't know what the rating is, but look into Killer Queen Black. It can work with up to 8 players.

This is the most popular game we have found for families at our Family Gaming Zones at ComicCon/PAX/GamesCom, and it's discounted to £4.99 on Switch (the version that supports 6 players!) Don't sleep on this. www.familygamingdatabase.com/game/TowerFa...

Any German speakers follow me? We will be at GamesCom and would like to do a version of our Family Gaming Database logo in German. Want to capture that we cover both board games and video games. This any good? Familien-Gaming-Datenbank Familienspieldatenbank
I question my decisions. Last year this was me on the Race to The Stones 100K. Looks considerably hotter this year. Fear not, every sponsorship keeps me cool. 🙏🏃🙌🔥 events.parkinsons.org.uk/fundraisers/...
Eeek! Excited and flattered to be invited to speak at the next APPG cross-party group of MPs focused on Play. I'll be bringing an overview of digital play and family gaming, including reflections from my forthcoming book on Digital Play. What points would you make?
