This year marks our 13th anniversary in the world of play, as board games continue to cement their place in our lives. Anniversaries often invite reflection, and it's remarkable to see how games that once felt like simple pastimes have evolved into celebrated traditions like gaming with friends, family members asking “So, what are we playing?”, or a gateway to conversation with people you meet. These moments remind us that board games are more than cardboard and dice—they're shared memories that endure across generations.
Board games themselves have become a bridge between nostalgia and innovation, and their recognition in the National Toy Hall of Fame underscores their cultural significance. Titles like Monopoly, Scrabble, and Clue have already earned their place among the Hall's inductees, standing alongside toys like the Rubik's Cube and LEGO. It's a reminder that the Hall isn't just about toys—it's about honoring the timeless rituals of play.

Thanks to all that continue to listen to us, we really appreciate it.
