Hobby games, lifestyle games, or just games for gamers. While there's nothing wrong with computer games, they're not the goal here. Hobby games feature face to face social interaction, along with some cards, maybe some dice, and always a lot of fun. Look for Board Games, Miniatures Games, Card Games, Trading Card Games, and games that don't fit neatly into any of those categories (those are my favorite!)

Inside Hobby Gaming

If you want to know what I think, I talk about hobby games, movies, a bit of nonsense, and then more hobby games. I try to post a little something everyday regarding the industry I love. I write specifically as somebody who makes games. I also write for gamers who might want to ask a little bit more of the folks who entertain them.
