Quotes (from this video)

I have found that hosting board game nights is an excellent way to get non-board gamers into the hobby, because after they've played some of these games with you, they immediately say 'I need to go get this game, I love this game, can't believe I've never heard of it'
Our hobby is terrible at marketing itself to people outside of the hobby. Yeah once you get in, yeah you're golden.
There are so many board gamers out there than I think any of us even know, and even more people who are just adjacent to the hobby.
It's definitely not going to be for everyone, especially the charades part
The game takes a backseat to the discussion between rounds
You're actually better at this game if you can't draw well. The worse you draw, the more fun it is.
It's just been something that's been on my mind a lot because I've been hosting some game nights at my workplace
I'm the fun police, but in the opposite way - I want to bring the fun
