Doing an AMA today, for our 15th anniversary of producing the On Board Games podcast.

Do you have any cool or stupid questions to ask? If so, go here and do so!

We have quite a few teachers and librarians who listen to our podcasts, and I know not all of you have taken advantage of The Spiel Foundation's game bundles. They created these bundles to help improve people's lives by "making the world a more playful place".

If your institution would benefit from receiving a bundle of games to play with patrons, students, patients, or inmates, head over to their website and fill out one of the application forms. They need to send out all of their current stock as quickly as possible, because they are changing warehouses at the end of February.

https://thespielfoundation.com/?page_id=341

From the foundation's web site:

The Spiel Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to making the world a more playful place.

We believe play is a powerful and positive force. The more we play together, the better life can be for all involved.

We want to build a bigger game table where all are welcome.

We believe fun is a universal language that unites us all.

We accomplish this goal in a variety of ways.

We deliver bundles of games to organizations that serve players of all ages (children’s hospitals, senior centers, shelters, halfway houses, boys and girls clubs, schools, libraries, even prisons).
