It’s gift giving season! Every year, we have Stephen Duetzmann from Engaged Family Gaming to tell us about their video game gift guide. What video games are the best picks for your family this year?

“Island 359” – a VR game available on Steam

and “The Battle of Wolf 359” from Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space 9.

If you need help figuring out where to place your little “dollar workers” in the worker placement game of life, reach out to First Move Financial. You can find them at firstmovefinancial.com/familygamers to schedule a call today.

Monopoly Chance – and Stephen proposes putting “Monopoly” onto other great board games.
Escape Academy (on XBox Game Pass)
Tokaido Duo
Purrfect Match
Celeste – and we learn about the accessibility options. (Our kids have since watched some speedruns. They’re crazy.)
Super Mario Bros Wonder

Check out this tableau-building storytelling game and watch or read our review.

Stephen runs Engaged Family Gaming and has been covering video games for about a decade now.

Let’s discuss their holiday video game gift guide!

“Playing the Avatar Pandora game with my mom.”

In 2024: Probably a new Nintendo Switch, probably a new Grand Theft Auto game. Princess Peach game (we’re excited for this one, too!)

Don’t forget to set it up before Christmas! (Plug in, connect to the internet, download updates, install a game or two.) It’s a much more effective surprise if it’s ready to play on Christmas morning.

And don’t forget about The Family Gamers holiday gift guide, too!
