Anitra played a lot of Monopoly, Rack-O, and Troke. She also loved “The Great Blizzard” game (it’s not good, folks).<br> We both transitioned towards playing more video games, and got back into board games in a big way around the time our daughter was 4.<br> Andrew has been in podcasting for a long time. He started with dabbling in video games journalism and especially loved <a href="https://compulsiongames.com/en/8/contrast">Contrast</a> (be aware, rated T). He eventually pivoted to board games (around the time our family became more interested in board games in general). Then he dragged Anitra in, and The Family Gamers was born.<br> Backtalk!<br> We are so excited when we get an email from our listeners.
