These games are further divided into the Casual and Gamer games – depending on how weighty … Continue reading Our Board Games – the Medium ones

Once again, a big thank-you to Randy and Meagan for putting up with us. 🙂 I’ve posted all the game reports on bgg, links follow: I picked up Rich from his house, and we arrived at Randy’s at about 2pm.
