I really enjoyed the info. about creating your own game and it's connection to the kickstarter information. I've been toying with printing a few games for 20 years. Inching my way closer ad this helps. Thanks Casual Gamer!

Thank you for having a section for couples. Having little kids forces us to play a lot of two player games.

The couples article was a pleasant read. Finding more things in common helps build a stronger bond, and board games are a good, clean, and safe way to do so!
