Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters (a TFG favorite)

Escape room/mystery games!

Savernake Forest (pronounced “Sav – er – nack”!)

Mind Space (review linked below)

Welcome to 19 new community members! Stop in and say hi!

Roll dice and draw shapes on your “brain board”, fitting a little bit of everything into your life. This odd theme works surprisingly well.

Mind Space allows up to five players, with limited player interaction.

Check out the transcript or watch the video.

Stephanie started on Instagram, with a focus on cozy living, special daily moments, and family time. A lot of reading, some board games.

As board games “took over”, she created a second account dedicated to that hobby.

Now, she also has a weekly newsletter “Feel Good Friday”, embracing all the small joys in life.

We think games help us slow down and focus on spending time together as a family.

obviously Ghost Fightin’ Treasure Hunters and Final Girl
