However, this simple concept can become quite complicated when the game needs to be fun for more than one person. Rare is the game that the whole family loves. But don’t lose heart. Finding games that everyone can enjoy is easier than you might expect.
I think it was Mary Poppins that said, “In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun, and SNAP! The job’s a game.” Well a game that isn’t fun to play works the same way. If you focus on the fun parts, the game its self will be fun.
In this blog, I will talk a lot about how and why we should enjoy games, but let us start with that ever-important first step: knowing that it is possible.
