2019 hasn’t been off to the best start thanks to a New Year’s Day bug, so I thought I’d celebrate what a great year 2018 was for me. I started “Meeple PhD” in January 2018 as a way to focus on board gaming. I knew 2018 was going to be a challenging year emotionally, and I hoped to balance that out with some fun. I’m calling it a success – enough so that I’m planning on keeping on for the next year.
