While Casey and I are more different than alike, the one area we have always had in common is our love for games.

Board games, card games, video games…we love them all. This has been an incredible way for us to connect and have fun together, no matter how tired we are at the end of the day. Plus, we’re big fans of in-home date nights since we have kids and babysitters aren’t always available.

Here is a list of our favorites and included a link with more info:

Bonus tip – Since we’re extremely competitive, we like to make a bet before we play a game. A common one is whoever wins, gets a 5 minute shoulder massage. Or whoever wins gets to pick the sex position that night. Get creative and enjoy some friendly competition.
