I am 30 and working in Dubai. When I was a kid I loved playing boardgames with my sister and parents. In 2000, just after college, I rediscovered the pleasure with Settlers, and have been boardgaming regularly ever since.
I rarely win a game

but you can count me in for mind-manipulation!

(my hot 10 list is the list of games in my collection waiting to be played for the first time or better explored)
