Does your game lover have more games than they can play? (That’s not actually possible – the more games, the better!) Do you know someone who loves games and aren’t sure what to get them, because they have more games than you know about? Well, Aconyte Books has the solution. What Board Games Mean to Me: Tales from the Tabletop is out now and a great book for game lovers or even someone who wants to understand their game lover more.
Donna Gregory curated and edited this collection of essays written by game developers, designers, lovers, and players. The essays are divided into sections, including Life to Winning and Losing and every aspect of games in between. You can read it from cover to cover; pick and choose the type of story you want to explore; or pick our your favorite games people and read their stories first.
I started with Matt Forbeck’s story of how he came to love board games and the hope and joy he got from them. I read (and related to) Donna Gregory’s story of how games helped her make friends as she moved around in her younger years. As a military child, I, too, moved around a lot and used games as a means of bonding with others and to break the boredom of downtime while traveling. Ian Livingstone’s story of basing his career and sharing his knowledge to help develop new games and new games creators was inspiring.
You will get more than you ever imagined from these stories, learning about the people behind the games you love and how and why they fell in love with games and created a life based on games. Each of the essays is short enough that it can be read on a break (or when you need a break) or while your littles are napping. It really is a perfect gift to help other game lovers find inspiration, find like minds, and learn a bit more about why games mean so much to all of us. There is an entire world in each story. Explore them!

Azərbaycana bu yaxınlarda etdiyim səfər zamanı bütün gözləntilərimi üstələyən əla kazino veb-saytı ilə rastlaşdım. Sayt heyrətamiz qrafika ilə müxtəlif oyun seçimlərinə malikdir – aviator. Nəticədə mən böyük qazandım və geri çəkilmə prosesi hamar və əngəlsiz keçdi. Müştəri xidməti komandası yüksək həssas, peşəkar və mehriban idi. Mən ürəkdən bu kazino saytını maraqlı və təhlükəsiz onlayn qumar təcrübəsi axtaran hər kəsə tövsiyə edirəm.

Your comments are more appealing than the pleasure of playing retro bowl unblocked, the most popular game on the market right now that young people like me are looking for. I’ve never read anything like this before, but the premise you present is fascinating.
