Boardgames

George was drawn to games from an early age and the passion has only grown. Board games quickly became a favorite activity when he realized there were so many options beyond Monopoly because a friend's older brother showed him Talisman and Diplomacy. Soon he was trying every game he could. By the age of 12 he was DMing games of D&D and making custom rules for Warhammer and Battletech. He dabbled in competitive MTG which peaked with a top 8 finish in Provincials finish one year.
