I am super excited to share My Top 5 Games for 2 Players. The games on my list were designed specifically for 2 players, so you'll not see games here that play with more people. Also, I include a variety of game play and length of games so that you can plan your game night with your friend or loved one accordingly. ​

There are amazing solo-variant rules for wonderful new releases. In this brief video review, I'll mention four great games you can learn and play by yourself. But the best part? You can then share them with your friends because they are not just one-player games! The solo-variant games I mention increase in difficulty from easy to challenging, but they are all stellar games to be enjoyed solo or with friends.

Meet Travis, my favorite gamer! We all have our gaming crew or many gaming groups, but in our unique time of social distancing it can be very easy to lose touch and not play as many games. BUT that's what I love about games so much: they bring people together. I lasted about two months without seeing any friends IRL and it was very challenging. Knowing that I was able to reconnect with everyone was what kept me going these past months. Here's my super special release dedicated to Travis, my favorite thing!

Deck-building games might be one of my favorite genres! You'll find some great, highly interactive games in this video.

I'm super excited to share my Top 5 list (and some runners up) of deck building games. These games made my list because they are fun, replayable, and have a unique mechanism or theme that makes the game great.

​You should dig right into these card games as soon as possible: one is a cooperative game, some are legacy, and others are just stinking clever.

Check it out here: youtu.be/BiWOou21HLE

I teach instructors how to use Bananagrams in the classroom as a learning device. Students will create their own individual crossword of practice vocabulary that fits the instructor's curriculum, which means the possibilities are endless.

Students practice spelling, critical thinking, and problem solving as well as listening skills.

​Included in this video are instructor tutorials as well as a student how to play, example turn, and tips to help make Bananagrams a success in your classroom!
