We
are well into
the uncontrolled spiral into the holiday season. Plans for
gatherings. Shopping
and
preparing for
feasts. Hauling out the house and yard decorations (if
we haven’t done so already).
And the inevitable hand-wringing
over
finding
gifts
for
people who matter in our lives. As
the blog focuses on the adventure gaming hobby, I limit myself to
recommending games that might engage people on readers’ gift lists.
It’s been
a while since I wrote a game-oriented holiday gift piece. “
Holiday
Gift Ideas for Non-Gamers & Kids” (2016) and “
Themed Gaming Gift Ideas for Non-Gamers” (2017) still offer some solid advice;
however, thanks to the nature of our capitalist markets and short
attention spans, many titles on those
lists have long since
become
out-of-print collectors items, though one can possibly find them on
the secondary market. This
year I offer a short list of quick ideas useful for those last-minute
purchases and generally available at most game stores and even some
larger retailers.
