A neat contest over at SSDR

The author (Matt Toone) of Great Games is offering a contest. Up for grabs is 1 of 3 copies of the book. To enter you have to write a paragraph "about a time where you played games with your family or friends and it created a fun memory, strengthened relationships, or simply brought your family closer together."

Go here (at SSDR) to learn how to enter. Thanks for your support of the Divas and a really cool book! You can read my review of Great Games here.
