I've had a few memorable moments at the table this year (like a Pandemic Legacy moment where an epidemic caused a city that had been empty of cubes a moment ago to chain-outbreak half a continent), but I think my best memories are of making new friends and introducing beginners to the hobby while chilling with the gang.

They are just entering the age where they get it.

How old is that? I'm at the point of teaching mine snakes and ladders

The older is 9, found it challenging in the beginning, but caught on. Younger is 5, definitely not into Pandemic.

Speaking of snakes and ladders, we had a very fun project of making our own. Basically I stole the positions of snakes and ladders from another board, but we drew and painted all of it on thick cardboard. Small enough and really fun project. You can customize to your fancy.
