Gaga over Games


It's fascinating to me how different we are. Some of us who are not French think Jerry Lewis is funny. Some of us like light, quick games with our kids and some of us dive deep with friends, or even strangers who become friends, as we compete and trade resources in order to settle an imaginary island. We will lose ourselves for hours and love every minute of it.

Two weeks ago I launched a site around my next book at www.101greatgames.com. You will not be surprised to learn that the book will be called and feature 101 Great Games. What you might be surprised to learn is that in two weeks the site has attracted 111 members who are very passionate about the cardboard, paper, plastic and wood with which they play. I've received hostile email, warm wishes and everything in between regarding the selection process, site guidelines and even what constitutes a game. It's a wonderful thing.

I've even discovered some games that I didn't know existed and that is what has me really pumped about this project. It's my hope that 101 Great Games introduces a ton of people to a ton of fun they never knew existed.

What's your favorite game?
