I've been incredibly fortunate to have gaming as a constant companion throughout my life. Now in my mid-50s, I can look back and see how games have always been there, shaping my experiences and bringing joy. As a child, my family had a caravan near Cockburnspath, where TV signals were scarce. We spent our time reading and playing games. Card games like Newmarket, Cribbage, and Gin Rummy were our staples, along with dice games like Yahtzee and Greed, and tile games like Scrabble and Tri-Ominoes. Chess was a classic favorite. My parents, being older, played their games and let me join in, teaching me the rules but never going easy on me. Even in Scrabble, I played with my own vocabulary, which helped me learn new words. In my teens, I hung out with friends in their tenements, playing games like Game of Life and Cluedo on the concrete. Interestingly, we rarely played Monopoly, even back then, people knew it could break friendships and families. High school brought the British debut of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) with the Red and Cyan boxes. This game stayed with me through high school and into adulthood. Our group progressed from 1st edition to 2nd Edition Enhanced, but we didn't quite take to the 3rd edition. By then, we were exploring other systems like GURPS and occasionally playing board games and card games like Grass, Rogue Trooper, and Hero Quest when we were short of players. We eventually drifted back to board games just in time for the hobby's explosion in popularity. I have gamed in various ways during the past 25 years, in person with friends once or twice a week, trying new games, revisiting ones we liked, gaming weekends away (hiring a caravan for a long weekend and playing games and cooking for everyone, logging maybe 30 plays over a weekend), restarting D&D and Pathfinder with family and friends, Playing online versions and rotating whose choice of games through a cycle that everyone gets to pick the games we play so we all get the chance to play our newer titles or go back to ones we particularly enjoy. Today, I game weekly with close friends and help run two clubs. One is at the school where I work, with 40-60 teens playing various RPGs for two hours, two days a week. The other is the Juniper Green Board Gamers, a club founded by my good friend Eric Ducreux. We believe games should be accessible to everyone and work to promote the joy that games bring to the world. I have recently joined another club close to my home, the Midlothian Meeples which gives me more chances to play and more people to interact with, although there I still revel in taking newer players under my wing and fostering their love of games so that they can learn what they like and know what they don’t. I'm always looking forward to spreading the joy and playing more games, tying it in with other hobbies like 3D printing to make custom parts and inserts for games, discovering new games, and of course, collecting the ones I love.
