Welcome to Family Game Shelf! I’m Stephanie and I LOVE games. But as much as I love a good game night, I love the idea of helping you find the perfect game for you to make the best memories with your family and friends.
You see, I grew up playing games with family and friends. And I have a ton of memories that make me smile years later, including the one of my mom and I being banned from being partners in Pictionary (can we help it if we were just that good?). These are extra special now that my mom has passed.
I created my first game somewhere around the game of 8. It was in a small blue lined paper work book. It was written in black pen. It had a twisty path and featured a very poorly drawn maple leaf. In a word it was terrible. I made a few others, equally terrible I’m sure. Then I hung up my maker hat and just played games through my teens and adult years.
Then I became a mom and found myself making games for my two girls. They were preschool learning games mostly. And then I started FamilyGameShelf.com were I share my passion for board, card and dice games. And I found my maker hat digging its way out of the back of the closet.
Now I’m on a mission to create games that will make you family game night full of fun, laughter and memories. I truly believe that playing games together strengthens relationships, teaches us more than we realize and creates lasting memories. And I want to share that world with you!
