Quotes (from this video)
  • Do board games actually work while traveling?
  • The smaller the game, the better.
  • I'm a board gamer. And board gamers, well, bring games.
  • This is why I love board games.
  • So, do board games actually work while traveling?
  • Games don't make a trip memorable. At least, that's what I think. The places do. The people do. But every now and then, a board game helps create a moment that becomes, well, part of a memory.
