Thanksgiving - A dry run!

“What if you stayed home on Black Friday and played a game instead?”

Any other year that question might have been met with serious angst in the United States. The tradition of leaving your home to shop and watch movies the day after Thanksgiving has been overwhelming, despite some violence and chaos that can ensue.

With the increase in COVID-19 cases and deaths this year, however, our need to stay home during Thanksgiving is imperative. It will be the perfect time to connect with family and friends in a non-traditional way.

Let’s rethink that connection with a tabletop game in mind.

Let’s transform the four days of the Thanksgiving holiday to hold a dry run of SpielMas.

For each of those days, commit to playing a game with your immediate family or remote friends. This would be exactly what you’d do a month later, between December 26-31.

Download a copy of this special “Thanksgiving Dry Run” display to celebrate the four games you will have played, with any items you wish to place on the spaces (learn more about SpielMas displays).

And then share your displays on social media using the #SpielMas tag, and I’ll share the best!
