At a #boardgames event right now. So many in the board gaming industry (just like book publishing industry) are worried about the potential impact of tariffs. If you can afford it, I encourage you to help support your local indie bookstore and/or game store. If you can't afford to buy, help boost.

Board games aren't just for kids. Don't let anyone tell you differently. We don't have to dedicate our lives to being productive. You don't grow out of fun. You should never stop finding joy through play. #BoardGameSky 💙🎲
Hey! Are you doom scrolling? Have a cat belly break!
Goodbye 2024. It's been a rollercoaster of a year, in good ways (and some not as good). But here's to new adventures in 2025! Happy New Year everyone!
