Favorite Games
As someone who works in the tabletop gaming industry, the #1 question I’m asked is…
“What’s your favorite game?”
What a question! I love so many games, it sometimes feels like an impossible choice. With that said, I do have favorites (plural) in multiple categories. You can find (and purchase!) them all below. I will continually update this as I find new games, so make sure to subscribe and check back often.

I also couldn’t go far without a good deck of cards. I prefer Bicycle decks for standard gameplay, and my Animal Portraits Playing Card Set for when I want some seriously beautiful cards.
In addition to board games, I love to play roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. As one of the first and most popular RPGs in the world, it’s a great place for new players to start.
Here are some essential resources to start playing Dungeons & Dragons. In the final section, I’ll share some of my favorite tabletop RPGs that aren’t Dungeons and Dragons.
