All are welcome to chime in, talk about their favorite games or learn about gaming of any sort.

Oddly, one of the Poochies is legendary for paralysis by analysis (we will not be playing Power Grid with him). We bought little sand timers to use with him during board games, and we set the turn timer on computer games like Civ. And he doesn't play shooters.
