Gift Ideas for Matt

No more let it be said that Matt is difficult to shop for. I am hereby starting this wish list so that anyone who ever cares to buy me anything (or coordinate with various other people to buy me a big thing) will have a convenient list to reference when doing so. Expect this list to grow over time, but do your best to see that it doesn’t. In the event that nothing here really works for you, always remember that I gratefully accept cold hard cash in any denomination. (The more people who give me cash, the more board gaming and beer drinking I can get done.) Cash: It’s Everywhere You Want to Be™.

If you have a little extra cash to spend and a bit of time to be thoughtful and shop around, you can always buy me anything from my board game wishlist. Anything above a 4 (”Thinking about it”) on that list is a safe bet. As for places to actually buy those games, I can personally recommend Thought Hammer, Time Well Spent, NewSpiel, and LoTech Games, all of which are online retailers I’ve had good experiences with in the past.
