For me, the holiday season means spending quality time with my nephew and nieces. It’s a whirlwind of fun, from hanging out at the park to having dinner at the local all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue joint to playing the best sessions of King of Tokyo, Settlers of Catan, and Pandemic. Obviously I’m biased, but I think they’re the coolest kids in the world.
As 2015 comes to an end, we here at the Dragon wish you and yours the very best during the holidays and the new year. And may you find yourself at the tabletop with loved ones and friends more often than not.
