Gab Alberola

I've always enjoyed social and party board games; I just love how you can gather total strangers around a table and have a blast. In my thirties, I fell even deeper into the board gaming rabbit hole and never looked back. That's when I became addicted to crunchier games (big fan of worker placement and resource gathering) and games that encourage thoughtful interaction (shoutout to Reiner Knizia who nails that so well).
