About Me

Hey there, I’m Alex

I started this blog as an excuse to talk about board games while we were in social isolation during Covid. I hadn’t seen my game group for close to a year, and I was yearning to connect with anyone over my favourite hobby. And once I started, I’ve found great joy in talking about my favourite hobby.

I started playing board games in 2016 when my partner suggested a date to the local board game cafe. At first, I was somewhat dismissive, after all, who wants to play Monopoly or Scrabble? but little did she know, she was introducing me to what would become an all-consuming hobby.

Beyond board games, I’m an avid video gamer, voracious reader, and love to cook. Or at least, those were my hobbies before my two kids were born. I give a lot less time to video games and books these days.

I live on the west coast of Canada with my wife and two kids.
