How do YOU play ?

Aspiring to the Well Played Game can profoundly shape our characters - for the better After 35 years of gaming together the authors noticed that the lessons they learned around the game table were helping them and their family in all sorts of ways. This is their love letter to the hobby of adult board games. It examines the role of these games in the formation of our characters as we learn to win and lose gracefully. It looks at the cognitive biases that can trap us when we are learning to think strategically and tactically. Those courageous enough to play are considered questing heroes caught up in the timeless drama of the three act play. From the opening curtain when the board is first set up, through the climbing pressure cooker of the middle game, and on to the final curtain when the score is tallied and the winner announced, personalities are tried and tested and character is formed. Not a travelogue, this is an exploration of the philosophy of the royal Eurogame.

If you are new to the hobby, here is a guide to what seeking the well played game looks like. For veterans of the Eurogame, here is a celebration of the deeper meaning in these unique game designs. Oh, and if you are a couple, this book is your unabashed invitation to try two person gaming. Perhaps you too will find a lifelong source of fun to share.

"Everything I needed to know about life, I learned playing Eurogames." Elizabeth Erway

So nice I bought twice!
Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in, Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
For starters, this is a great buy if it is exactly what you want. For me that was the case and it would have cost me a good $40 or more to replicate it at a big box store. With that said, if you are not planning on using all of the pieces and want a different configuration, this may not be the kit for you. All of the parts inside are just like if you bought it at a local home improvement store. All the pipes need to be cleaned and protected. I personally found that dish soap (dry off immediately after you clean a piece) was the easiest to clean everything and I finished it with some wax. The kit is sturdy and easily supports the weight of my butcher block tops. I inverted the kit as it is designed as I intend on adding a shelf and am planning on using the support brace to aid in holding that shelf up for cable management. After cleaning and protecting, putting the kit together only took 5-10 minutes and that was with kid disruptions. I purchased 2 so that my wife and I could have matching desks in the office and I couldn't be happier.

Durable and sturdy. I bought two
Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
Love the kit. I ordered two to make an L-shaped desk for my home office. Perfect height, looks cool, and sturdy. Slightly tricky to get two of them to the exact same height but you can adjust them buy loosing/tightning parts. Way cheaper than going to the hardware store and buying the same parts. I wiped each piece down as they are a bit dirty/greasy, but no big deal.

Great legs - sturdy when fully assembled with tabletop.
Size: H Desk Unfinished 3/4-in and 1/2-in
These legs are great. I put it together with a butcher block tabletop and it turned out beautifully. I recommend using a level on the legs once you get them into position and again when you place a top on it. The screws included were so easy to screw into the block but that will vary depending on the top you select. Watch the videos another reviewer posted on cleaning the legs with a mild soapy water and dry them thoroughly. It really helped me. Also after it was all assembled I used a clear acrylic - in a spray can to clear coat and seal the legs. I am really happy with it.

Perfect

Exactly what I ordered, took just a few minutes to assemble and mount the legs. Love that the bottoms can be manipulated to give a balanced stance.
