Today my children and I played a board game called “Random World,” designed by my 7-year-old daughter.
It was exactly as incredible as you’d imagine.
When I was a kid – but older than her – I designed games. It was exhilarating and I never stopped. To this day, I still do game design. I even get paid for it! So watching my daughter leap into this with both feet makes my heart absolutely swell.
The kids have a shelf with 30+ board games on it, and we play as a family all the time. It’s a great joy. But now there’s one more, and she designed it.
So it’s the best one ever. And it will be, until she designs they next.
