Board Game Guy Background

Hello, I am the boardgame guy and I wanted you to know why I go by boardgame guy. When I was a young, I started off playing the normal games. Chutes and ladders, Break the Ice, and Uno (I know Uno is not a board game but that is okay). Then one day, my father came home with a new game set far in a dark future where Marines and aliens known as Genestelers fought in a Space Hulk! Which Space Hulk happened to be the name of the game. From that time on my love for board games expanded. There was Hero Quest, Battle Masters, Silent Death, and countless others. Playing games on the table was cemented.

When I hit my teen years, the revolution began as miniature tabletop games took root with Star Wars Minatare Battles! Getting to play with large armies on a table with terrain you put together was exciting and eye catching. Then the deep dive happened with entering the world of Warhammer 40,000 by Games Workshop. I was able to buy, build, and paint model kits that represented futuristic soldiers, tanks, and skimmers. It fleshed out my enjoyment of playing games on the tabletop. That leads to today where I play a mixture of both! Everything from the new edition of Space Hulk, to Nemesis, to Gloom Haven, to Alien Vs Predator: The Hunt Begins! I play these with my family and look forward to the next major game.
