Well, what a turn out today! I think we had over 50 people come and play our games. It was a great time and there was a lot of laughter and fun for the full three hours! Some of the tops hits were the classics. Chicken Cha Cha Cha, Chateau Roquefort, Viva Topo! and Ghost Chase all saw significant table time. Dancin’ Eggs, Giro Galoppo, Castle Keep, Kids of Catan also had multiple plays happening. In keeping with the weather, Igloo Pop drew some interest, which was nice as I had not played that one a lot since we got it when my own kids were little and it was too much for them.
Other break outs were Loot, Dead Man’s Treasure, Hamster Rolle, Ice Cream as games were flying off the show table and onto playing tables. The biggest question I had was about where to buy these games and when we were bringing them back.

A great time was had by all! Thanks!
Hi Eric,
I’ve just stumbled upon your blog and it’s great! Really inspirational
I would love to run a kid’s game day here in the UK, but I’m worried that I’d have to teach dozens of kids dozens of different games, all at the same time! How did you manage it?
Cheers,
Toby
Hey Toby, it’s not all that tough. I make sure the parents stay and play. Then I hand them the game and depending upon the complexity of it, give them the basic rules and let them go. I have had about 6-7 games going at once and popping by at the start of each helps. Good luck!
