Across the Board - How Games...

Tim Clare

Tabletop games are ordinary and extraordinary. Ordinary because they're everywhere: played in bars and cafés, churches and casinos, through sunless winters in polar research stations and in the sweltering summer heat of Tanzanian villages and streamed live over Twitch to millions of viewers. They fill the activity pages of children's magazines and the halls of senior centers. They appear as smartphone apps and in luxury editions and as game boards scratched into the dirt. 
 
 
 
And they're extraordinary for precisely the same reason: they're everywhere, in every civilization, everywhere in the world across all recorded human history. 
 
 
 
In Across the Board, tabletop game aficionado Tim Clare takes us through that history and across those civilizations. We learn how the same games emerge over and over and how they've evolved and spread, as well as about the contemporary culture of gaming: with rousing enthusiasm, Tim explores games as familiar to us as Monopoly or chess, as niche as Magic: The Gathering, and as unexpected as the Japanese poetry-matching card game karuta. We learn about games as recreation and as ritual, and above all, we see how they can be a way for us to come together—because of all the things that make us human, there's nothing quite so set up for connection as sharing a round of cards or the roll of a d20.

SOUL MATES FOR LIFE: Terms and...

May McGoldrick, Jan Coffey,...

More Than Just a Greeting Card—A Gift That Lasts
This little book about relationships is more meaningful than any Valentine's card, birthday card, or anniversary card you could give your partner. While cards are read once and set aside, this book offers insights, inspiration, and heartfelt connection that will stay with you both long after the occasion has passed. Whether celebrating love, strengthening your bond, or simply expressing your feelings, this book is a lasting reminder of what truly matters—your relationship.
And if you're t ired of love stories that feel more scripted than a Hallmark movie, buckle up for something wilder—Nikoo and Jim McGoldrick, self-proclaimed cosmic stalkers, are here to prove that true love doesn't just last a lifetime… it survives multiple. (Or at least, that's their story, and they're sticking to it.)
What's their secret? Unwavering commitment, daily communication, and the kind of mutual respect that keeps them from turning minor disagreements into full-blown historical reenactments. From health scares to heated debates over who left the light on, they tackle life's storms with humor, heart, and an unshakable 'us against the world' attitude.
This isn't just romance—it's embracing quirks, laughing through the chaos, and knowing that sometimes, the best date night is just surviving the grocery store together. Want to know how they keep the spark alive? Simple: long hugs, short grudges, and the firm belief that everything is better when we do it together.
Ready to unlock the secrets of a love that endures? (And maybe pick up some relationship survival tips along the way?)
