If there is one family that loves boardgames it’s us. The one downside it that we’re all incredibly competitive. We even have those among us who cheat! But we have the greatest of fun together and truly enjoy ourselves.
When we were little we played shuffleboard during Christmas break. A nice activity with family and friends present. The gaiety and laughter from young and old playing in 1 team against each other. Fun memories.
