Looking for podcasts and journalist who focus on video game discovery or the value of digital play.
We're launching on Wednesday (National Play Day) and have lots to say about play and finding great gaming spaces. Experts on hands to offer quotes.
Shares appreciated.
So Clover! from @ReposProduction uses a plastic Clover centrepiece that holds four cards in a square with two words on each edge. Good for 8+ year-olds. It's a 2-6 player Communication-Creative-Puzzle board game, out now. www.familygamingdatabase.com/game/So+Clover
