Guys.
Remember a couple weeks ago when I asked for suggestions for good tabletop games to play during quarantine?
And remember when I said a bunch of nice game designers and publishers offered to send me stuff?
And remember when I said I could fit them all on my table?

I want to break these down a little bit, so I can properly thank everyone. Then we intend on playing and reviewing at least one game a day. I will need a hashtag so people can search, suggestions welcome.
I have two things to say...

First, please buy games from your local games/comics shop if AT ALL possible. You can’t go learn a game from the Amazon website, but you can at a store!
And don’t be fooled, we still buy LOTS of stuff at the nearest game store to us, we love them!

And also, I want to say, we have always loved board games but I have never taken the big deep dive until just recently.
I have to say, if you can, try it. It has helped my morale, my mental acuity, and socializing during this weird time.

Just playing DINOSAUR TEA from @RestorationGame and LAST SECOND QUEST from @wizkidsgames brought us so much delight, it was really lovely.
I know not everyone is quarantined with others, there Is also @BoardGameArena for those folks!
Try it!

These are from one of my favorite games companies, @restorationgame. They take beloved games and fix them up and modernize them, make them GORGEOUS.
We played Fireball Island, it was a HOOT! Downforce looks remarkable, we LOVED Dinosaur Tea Party. LOVED.
