I Wanna Play a Board Game

A personal story in the experience: I Love Board Games
D oes anybody like board games anymore? When I was a kid, playing board games was my absolute favorite thing to do. I can't think of a game that I didn't like. I had no interest in dolls or make believe play, I wanted games and more games. Now, I can't find a single person I know who enjoys a good game. I have one friend who won't play games because she thinks she's not smart enough. I have another friend who won't play because she hates doing anything competitive, where there is a win and lose. C'mon. I don't care if I win. I don't care if I lose. For me the fun is in playing and in spending time doing something interactive with someone I like. Not so long ago, I found out there was a game called Therapy, what a delight for a psychologist to find a game called Therapy. I was in heaven. But I think I've only played it once because as I mentioned no I know likes games. If you like board games, find me. I may even be willing to travel a bit to have someone to sit down a play a game with.

I enjoy board and card games! I used to make my own games when I was a kid (seemed fun at the time...but I realize now they were horrible and I kind of made up the rules as it was played).

Recently I made my own card game. I call it Make An Offer. I found several places online that will manufacture games for you. I sent my files to a place called The Game Crafter. They manufacture and sell games that ordinary folks create.

I also used a place called ArtsCow. This place allows you to create custom cards (front and back). There is also a place called Superior POD.

So, if you like board and card games and you want to create your own, now you can!

You can check out the game I created at the following sites:

Play, play, and play. When you get bored...make your own!
