At Open Seat Gaming, we love board games of all sorts. And we want to share that love for board games with everyone that wants to embrace them. It can be a lot of fun and we want everyone to know that there is an open seat at the table for them! We plan on offering a variety of board game media, including reviews of games; Kickstarter previews; accessory and upgrade information; and opinion pieces about the hobby in general.
