Have you noticed the push for playing games in the media? While the ads are generally produced by the game makers, they have the right idea. Spending time together with family and friends playing games can be a great experience on many levels. Many of my best childhood memories are the times we spent playing games – board games, car games, card games, guessing games, etc. There are so many to choose from that sometimes it can be mind-boggling. And, standing at the rows of games in the stores is even worse – how do you know which are good ones and which will be donated to the Goodwill after only one time out of the box? I’ve located a couple of sites to share with you about gaming. Take a look and see if you can find a new one to challenge your family and friends.
http://www.boardgameswithscott.com/ - Scott Nicholson, professor at Syracruse University, provides video reviews of games. A great way to get a taste of a game without the purchase. Scott gives you information about contents, strategies, playing time and more. You’ll see new games introduced but can also search for reviews of older releases.
http://www.thegamecrafter.com/ – Have an idea for a game yourself? Here’s the spot for you! You can find all the things you need to produce your own idea. Whether you want just one copy for your family to play or you are interested in marketing it to consumers – you’ll want to check out this site. NOTE: Have a game with lost pieces? They have a place to purchase pawns, dice, etc.
