board games 225x300 Get Your Game On

After eating out last Friday night, the girls wanted to shop. It’s a still a little too close to this past Christmas to start in with shopping again, so I turned them down. Driving home, though, I remembered an ad (really a sponsorship on Wisconsin Public Radio) for a new store in the Madison, WI area called I’m Board that specializes in board games. We’d never been there so we went looking. Good idea, too. The girls got to shop and we discovered a fun, new store.

We found it fairly easily and went inside to find board and RPG games for all ages, but primarily for teens and adults, with lots of really cool games I’d never seen or heard of before. After spending about 30 minutes or so here we left with two games and a Game-On attitudes.

If you live in the Madison, WI area, I’d recommend looking for I’m Board. It’s on University Avenue in Middleton, just west of Middleton Cyclery on the same side. They have an open game room with many games available to play and scheduled times for other games where kids and adults from around the area can meet and play.

I also really like I’m Board’s motto: Unplug * Interact * Reconnect. It’s true. We have more fun, connect more with each other, and share in lots of fun and create more memories while we play these games together. What games did we buy? Poo (a card game where monkeys toss poo at each other) and Say Anything.
