King is playing a much less challenging game of Spot, which, yes, is about dogs, with an older man named Richard, whose white beard and flopped red cap are suitably Dungeon Master-y. King describes him as something of a local legend and folks try to guess how many games he has at home. We’re all too low; he reportedly has 7,000.
I’ve been in Richard’s basement before. I think the board games are a structural part of his house at this point, you keep looking around and seeing more games the longer you look
Oh look, precisely the kinda stuff I keep seeing that makes me want to move there 🤣
It’s great here! As long as you don’t mind cold and and snow. That’s what indoor board games are for though 🎲
Oh, those things that I like that I don’t get anymore here in Virginia? 🤣
The initial draw was my understanding that the area is particularly progressive with a higher concentration of leftists (Bible belt problems,) but I also like snow and board games and shit. Plus I’m a disabled vet and IIRC I read that transit is free statewide for us which wouldn’t hurt.
Yep!

And yeah, Minneapolis is fairly progressive, we’ve got some nice places like May Day Books and lots of things to do in the snow like skiing at Theodore Wirth Park ⛷
