My January 2018 Geek Dad Challenge: 20 Days of Boardgames

Reading Time: 3 minutesPlaying a game of Hero Realms. Photo: Jim Kelly.

At the end of the year, I’m a bit relaxed with my two boys (ages 10 and 7) when it comes to playing electronics. While school is in session, my wife and I try our best to limit screen time, but over the holidays? For a few weeks, I’m fine with them going a little crazy. We’ve had a Minecraft party at the house (7 boys, 7 laptops!) and a few late nights watching movies and a couple Xbox binge sessions. Inevitably, the boys start getting a little bored around January 1 and start going outside again even reading a book or two.
