Greetings

We're coming to you a day early this week because Thursday is Thanksgiving in the US. We thought it better to come to you today instead of potentially getting lost among the all-but inevitable Black Friday spam that will crowd your inbox.

As for us here at Meeple Mountain, we wish everyone a safe, fun, and drama-free weekend, regardless of where in the world you're reading this.

What's New?

We asked the Meeple Mountain team what they were thankful for. Here are some of their responses.

Clayton Schoonover

My kids (step-children included). They're so much fun to hang out with. They're smart and funny and have really good taste in movies and music. They're artistic, too. And best of all...They're all gamers!

K. David Ladage

My wife. It took me a long time to find someone patient enough to deal with my idiosyncrasies. And it took me a long time to reach a point where those idiosyncrasies were manageable and managed. She is my everything.

Andrew Holmes

My wife and our kids. We've just celebrated 10 years of being married and they've been 10 amazing years. Also, Olive the unexpected dog, who joined our family yesterday. At least, I think I'm thankful for Olive, jury might still be out! :D

Andy Matthews

I'm thankful that I still have a sense of fun and delight.

Tom Franklin

Family, friends, health, games, music, and our cats.
