Hobby Games Essayists Assemble!

The esteemed editor Jim Lowder has given a hundred or so people permission to release the list of essayists they’re joining for Family Games: The 100 Best, the follow-up to the award-winning Hobby Games: The 100 Best. I happen to be one of those lucky souls, and here’s that amazing list.

We can’t say what we’re writing about yet. The only real rule was that we couldn’t cover a game we worked on. That, of course, left plenty great games to choose from.

The book should be out in late August. I can’t wait to read it.
