Review :
"The ephemeral nature of the stories of these moments is beautiful." "Games are important to society, but sometimes we need to be reminded just how essential they are and why. What Board Games Mean to Me does an outstanding job of that." "What Board Games Mean to Me is a love letter to a different sort of way to navigate the curveballs the life throws at us." "I really enjoyed getting so many insights, and I related to a lot of the sentiments shared around the connections that games can create and the memories they help us make."
