I was provided a copy by the publisher for an honest review. Thank you to Simon and Schuster for sending me a copy!
Full disclosure: I am an avid gamer, and have been for almost ten years. I didn't expect to learn a lot necessarily from Erik's book, but I was immediately charmed by his writing style, knowledge, and wit.
What Erik has done here is essentially create a love letter to board games. You may already know all of the things that Erik talks about in this book, but Erik writes with such reverence and humor about the hobby, that you can't help but follow him along on his journey.
Erik writes about a lot of different situations you may find yourself in when board gaming, and he does so with respect for the topic and people. The focus is often on hosting, which really is a key ingredient to a successful game night- and why some game nights fail, frankly.

Easy to follow along and great advice for setting up game nights. I've been sorely missing my game nights with friends and family and this book has rekindled my love of board games!
