I’ve had a few memorable moments at the table this year (like a Pandemic Legacy moment where an epidemic caused a city that had been empty of cubes a moment ago to chain-outbreak half a continent), but I think my best memories are of making new friends and introducing beginners to the hobby while chilling with the gang.

    Funny that you mention Pandemic, we finally got around to playing it with the kids, and it was great. They are just entering the age where they get it.

    So far only played the simplified rules, none of the Legacy parts, and beat the game for the first time.

        The older is 9, found it challenging in the beginning, but caught on. Younger is 5, definitely not into Pandemic.

        Speaking of snakes and ladders, we had a very fun project of making our own. Basically I stole the positions of snakes and ladders from another board, but we drew and painted all of it on thick cardboard. Small enough and really fun project. You can customize to your fancy.

    My kids found a used sleeping queens box on the playground. We played. We all fell in love. We play it all the time. They are young and got hooked. We got more games in their age range and the fun continues
