panel 2: Now THAT, Trout…. was one big insult to my soft side…

Playing board games usually requires personal communication, which, today, has gone the way of the dinosaur!!

Board games have a moderately large and devoted following? They seem to have propped Kickstarter up for a while.

Board games are booming. 70,000 people at GenCon this year.

That’s the way to change the subject, Trout.

GothCon is over 40 years old. Thousands go there every year to play board games.

Crushed Candy? ☺

Halloween is coming up, Trout

Keep eating big piles of candy, and you’ll be the poster child for the song,“I’m all about the bass”.

Great work Tony, love your strip.

agnes has a monopoly on off the wall ideas…

Make her a Horn of Plenty. I believe those suckers would sell.

I have always loved played board and card games since I was little, that is one of the things we did as a family growing up and it just always something we always did. Even when I got married and we went to my parents on weekends for dinner or just to hang out we always ended up playing one or the other and me and my ex husband played them a lot in the evenings when nothing was on tv or our dvr to watch. Now that I live alone I have no one to play them with and I miss that so now I have to rely on computer board and card games but just not the same as having someone to play with and having fun and laughing and just catching up.

That board game looks strange and probably dangerous but it reminds me of the episode of Home Improvement when Al made that board game and it would catch on fire, always liked that episode.
