We are Jamie and Adam.

​

We first met at a board game night, and we quickly hit it off.  Then we quickly clashed, notably in an infamous game of Dominion.  It kind of went down in smoke.  But we dusted off the ashes, and from that we learned a lot – about how we show up and how we impact others.  And we realized we had to establish some expectations. Because we wanted to be together, yet we could only do so if we were on the same page.  We needed some house rules.

 

We set our boundaries and agreed on expectations for friendly competition.  And thankfully so.  This gave us good ground for deeper relationship.  We kept playing games, and eventually we got married.  (On a Friday the 13th...just because.)

​

We still discuss our boundaries and board games.  Games have drawn us into conversations about communication, love, life goals, addiction, and spirituality.  You can hear us engage with those topics on our podcast here.

​

We believe that fun is essential for life.  It’s a healthy glue for community, which is also essential.  We have some games we’ve enjoyed, and we tinker with them to come up with new ways to play.  Several of these variants let us play multi-player games when it’s just the two of us!  Others have added more mystery or more story, and we love to share our ideas and let others join in.
