With the pandemic firing up once again to record numbers people are rightfully concerned about travelling to see loved ones for the holidays. Zoom calls are okay but what happens when you run out of things to talk about and you want to play a game? One of the things that we enjoy in our house is being able to play games, put together puzzles and share time together during the holidays. It is a great time to slow down and enjoy some fun board games. I have reviewed so many and have a stack of them that I want to take with me to our Thanksgiving visit to my parents. But what if we could not be there in person and still wanted to pay a game. Well Asmodee has launched a site called Connect & Play that has instructions on how to play their physical board games via video conferencing services like Zoom, Google Meet and Skype. They have instructions for remote play for games such as Dixit, Just One, Dobble/Spot It!, Sherlock Holmes and Time’s Up (Amazon.com Affiliate Links).

Early on in the Pandemic my family did a game night where my sister and her husband bought us a game and shipped t to us through Amazon.com. They then ordered us dinner at one of our favorite places and we all ate dinner together and then played the game together. With the Connect & Play site you can do the same thing and use their instructions to play some of the Asmodee games remotely. I have included our Amazon.com affiliate links in this post so that you can order the games for yourself and your family members and give this a try. If you cant be there in person you can at least enjoy a game together.
