I'm very interested in seeing how technology will be applied to future gaming. Mansions of Madness's did a great job of incorporating it, but I still feel like we've only scratched the surface

I used to think huge games were the best, but now I like these casual games because they can actually get played. :)

I have followed and read Casual Game Insider since from the very first issue until now.  I look forward to receiving it each month.  (Even though I have a life subscription, I opt to add the printed version.)

Not sure I can bring myself to play panemic related games at this time. Maybe a few months after the vaccine has come out... and I can play board games with others again...

CGI is a great magazine. I always appreciate the reviews which include player count, time, age, cost, and the Luck vs Strategy and Interactive vs Independent scales.

Always fun to see what content and games will be featured in the magazine.  I like how older games are still discussed too.  It's not all about just what is new and flashy.
