Well, we staved it off as long as we could. Dungeons & Dragons, yep we’ve gone there! Its aaaaalllllll over people, it’s done. We watched Gravity Falls & when he saw the mock version of it he looked at my wife & said “wouldn’t it be cool if that was a real game!” So she let the cat out of the bag & he did some googling. The next day we had a home made cardboard D&D with hand drawn characters. It was just to damn cute & it felt to good to see him so excited about something that is NOT video games or on YouTube so she loaded him up and headed to the comic book store. Who knew the game was $70 but once he saw it it was to late! Now the entire family is in on the game & we spent this evening after dinner playing. Sam snapped a few photos that I couldn’t help but post up to share. Not my cup of tea, I’m more of a Tetris man myself but totally worth it to see how much fun he was having throwing zombies at us.
you gotta introduce the family to Munchkin. i swear that this way so much fun! it’s so easy to learn…
and don’t let the fact that there is so many versions stop you. you can START with any version… and eventually buy ALL the versions and make it into ONE BIG Munchkin game.
I really enjoy reading your blog! You seem to really thrive in the adventure of being a father. The way you keep your boys engaged in activities is inspiring! As an ABA therapist I find what you’re doing with your son who has asperger’s is awesome!! If more of the parents I work with on a daily basis were as involved as you I’d have a much easier job!
