We trade the usual birthday expectations for a weeklong board game celebration as Mike turns 40 and brings a list of 20 games he wants on the table. We break down what makes the list work, which titles he’s most hyped to play, and why having a partner who truly loves the hobby changes everything. 

•building a 20-game birthday week list that’s realistic to play 
•who’s joining the sessions and how the week is structured 
•early plays and quick hits like Druids of Edora and Dunup 
•goofy story moments in Botany and why it stays memorable 
•bigger table picks like A Gest of Robin Hood and Great Western Trail 
•why Tapestry is the must-play birthday tradition 
•Barnes and Noble clearance surprises with Pick a Pepper and Floristry 
•the one brand-new birthday buy he hopes arrives in time: Trismegistus
