So I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m female, in my late twenties, and I live in maritime Canada. I have a B.A. in International development and Creative Writing, and I’m currently establishing a career as a freelance writer (for example, I wrote two Canadian expansion sets for the Xbox Live Arcade version of Wits & Wagers!).

But most importantly, I love board games. I own or co-own about 60 games, and the collection is always growing. I’ve played each of them several times, and my favorite ones many dozens of times. No matter what happens in my life, playing games will make me calm, happy and relaxed in no time at all. That’s why, in the spring of 2006, I founded a board game club at the university I went to and spent almost every single Sunday afternoon since then playing games with my friends. And even though I moved to a different town all the way across Canada just a month ago, I’ve already re-founded my club here, and the playing continues…

There are probably only about four or five Sundays per year I don’t spend playing games. And when I’m not gaming on a Sunday, chances are I’m visiting my family in Bavaria, Germany. Where, yes, I sometimes wear a “Dirndl”:

But that’s enough about me for now… Tomorrow: My thoughts on Boardgamegeek.com throne-usurper Agricola.

Boardgamegirl out.
