How our tastes change over time is always kind of interesting to look at. As a kid, I loved Brussels Sprouts! Now, I really really hate them. Ok, I’m kidding…nobody sane likes Brussels Sprouts.

June has been a busy month, and not seemingly conducive to getting new board games played. We missed a Sunday game day (Father’s Day) and for two of the other three Sundays, our main “new games” guy wasn’t able to come. However, we maximized… Continue Reading “New to Me – June 2023”
