It went very well but my time there was much too short. One problem of these events running during the kids’ school term is that we can’t drag them away from school for too long and autistic youngest can’t be left for others to mind, either. Kind of a Catch-22!

I’m just surprised they haven’t been sued by disney yet for the tag-line.

We have quite a stash of board games but definitely are enjoying this as a family game a lot more than we’d done with others. Part of the fun has to be the quick play and the silliness of some combinations. Mounted Tritons? Really?

DH and DC have been enjoying this one recently.

They also liked the Tabletop video, which i think also hooked them. Usually DH gets stuff from recommendations on boardgamegeek but I think the video was influential in this case. Not sure which came first…

Lodge is why I was very careful to add in “board game”. I still love his books after all of these years in academe. Probably because of them, actually.

fMhson would love to live at your house. He asked the other night when we could have “family game night.”

p.s. when this post first popped up on my blog roll I thought you wrote a book review of David Lodge’s hilarious satire of academia of the same title!
