I'm a gamer - a good portion of my journal is talking about video games. There's two that take most of my gaming time:
Final Fantasy Brave Exvius - a mobile gacha game that has an excellent large cast of characters. If anybody wants to add me there, my ID is 965,432,229 and my game name is AltheaV. I really love the story in this game! Since it's a gacha game, it's free to play, with options to spend money if you'd like. My income is tiny right now, so I have not spent a single dime on the game, and yet I've done some of the hardest content there is.
Final Fantasy XIV - it's an MMORPG. I started playing in September and have been playing daily since. It also has an excellent story! I'm Althea Valara on the Coeurl server, Crystal data center.
I also like casual mobile games. I play the various Flow Free games daily; over 1000 days daily streak in the original version. I sometimes play Wordscapes on the weekends.
I've currently got a run of Final Fantasy V in the works for Esuna for Corona.
I was an avid board and card gamer when I was a kid. Lots of Monopoly and Canasta with my younger sister. I miss those days. I rarely play those games now. Occasionally my mom and I will play Canasta or Cribbage, but that's rare.
I went to a board game group when I was in my 20s, and picked up some good games there that I otherwise would have never heard of. Ricochet Robot is a good workout for the brain that tests your spatial acilities, and the game can be played solo. Acquire is a game of corporations; you buy stock and merge companies. I also remember playing Citadels but it's been so long since I've played that I've forgotten most of the game. I do remember being good at it, though!
I used to watch Wil Wheaton's TableTop YouTube series, and saw a lot of neat games I'd love to play some day. The one that interested me the most is Castle Panic. It's cool because it's a collaborative game: everyone works together to defend the castle from invaders. You all win if you're successful, and all lose if all the castle walls get knocked down.
Finally: I've been passing around a link to Cheap Ass Games. They've always had low-priced board games, but they offer many of their classic games for FREE on their site. Just download and print! I can recommend Devil Bunny Needs a Ham.
