In the beginning....

Hello and Welcome to "A Family that Plays Together!

Before I get started on the whole "gaming" aspect, let me give you some background:

     Toward the end of last year, I realized that I wanted to spend more of my free time as family time, but I was unsure on how to do this.  Not long after that, I began watching Wil Wheaton on YouTube and his show "Table Top".  It then dawned on me...Turn my kids into geeks!  I had, of course, exposed them to the typical things any good geek does like, Star Wars, Dr. Who, Comic Books...but now to up the ante!  Starting with Christmas, I began my mission to turn my kids into geeks, and I have to say, it has worked perfectly!

     Before Christmas, we had your typical Monopoly, Don't Break the Ice, Clue, Hungry Hippos, Etc.  Since that time, we have continually grown our game library.  Below I will list the games we currently have, and as we add to that, I will post about that.   After a month or so of playing from our list of new games, I decided, what better way to turn my love of family time, board games and writing into something more, than writing a blog!  My main goal is to help other families find games that will best suit them and their kids, and enjoy family time the way I have!  I will be giving you the views of the entire family, from adults to kids, on each game we play.  I will give a simple run-down of each game as well as a review from each of us.  Also, since My beloved and I love to cook so much, we will also include new recipes on game nights and the kids reaction.

So, in that, let me introduce to you the players:
