Introduction to board games:
I have been a board game player ever since I was young. I recall fondly playing cards with my grandma and learning all the different variations of card games. Later I learned how to play draughts and chess with dad, not that I was any good at them. Then there were the family holidays on the east coast where on a rainy day we would play monopoly, dominos and other such traditional games. But it was at the start of lockdown when I was looking for other things that me and my beloved could do to get us through the crisis, that we discovered themed board games.
After watching videos on Dice Tower, I came across several board games that seemed exciting, and that I thought we would both enjoy. During one of those times when we were allowed to go places, instead of going to the coast we went to a board game café in Sheffield to play Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne. I remember it well because it was the first time I had a haircut in months as we walked past a barber shop along the way, my local barber having not returned post lockdown. The café was great, the food delicious, and the staff could not have been more friendly and helped us figure out what can be quite complex games.
