More and more articles are appearing on different websites proclaiming the benefits of staying at home and playing some board games.  Now that you have an excuse to get some quality time with friends or family, why not try a new board game everyone can play, …and do well in.  There are several new board games out that can bring family and friends together in a wonderful evening of connection.

We started having game nights at our house, and after a few plays of Trivia or matching apples and other fruits for fun, we found we needed to find a game that’s new and interesting every time we play it.  Do Tell created a series of games based on relationship and connection, which felt like the magic works. The colorful board and cards create a “quality time space” to share what’s on my mind and my family’s minds in unique and interesting ways.  The bonus is I also feel like I am being heard by my partner and kids. Plus they get to know me a little better as a person.
