TABLETOP/BOARD GAME COMMUNITY
We Are Passionate About Board Games!
We love to share our passion for Board Games with others. We have found that the best part of board gaming is the people that you meet while playing and the community that you create from those connections. We believe that a strong Board Game Community helps us all find and play the games that we enjoy and have more fun. A healthy, growing community builds an environment with more, new exciting games to discover and more people to enjoy them with.
Below you'll find information on some of the people and places you can visit to learn about The Board Gaming Hobby. We'll be adding to - and updating this section of our website as frequently as we can and hope to be adding to it soon - if you have any suggestions of what we might be able to add here share your wishlist with us by email at: chris@geekygoodies.com.

Our Board Game
Designers Twitter
This is where you might find today's board game designers talking about games that they are currently designing or providing tips and suggestions for other designers. Many of these accounts are managed by the actual person and offer a unique way to connect with your favourite board game designer.
Board Game Publishers & Developers on Twitter
The people who make board games are often more passionate about games than those of us who play them. This is an exciting place to see what the people who put their blood, sweat, tears - and money are thinking and sharing. Contests, news, and sneak peeks abound.
We've begun the long process of un-boxing and gathering the many board game reviewers, game journalists, bloggers, podcasters and play-through video makers that share their information and knowledge on Twitter. This is another great way to see what games people are playing and very often what they think about them.
Board Gamers on Twitter
The Board Gaming Community is alive and well on Twitter - so well that we had to create 2 lists to keep track of them all.
We created these Twitter groups as a sort of "catch-all" for board gamer and tabletop gamers of all types. Geeky Goodies is tweeting as @thechriscormier.
What Are We Missing?
We'll be adding lots more to this page as we go along.
