We just completed our tradition of playing the #Xanth #BiardGame over several days around New Year. We play with generally not given each other very tough combat encounters, which allows for the several day campaign. This year, my wife beat me, as she often does, 9 quests to 4.

We also have the #DragonRidersOfPern game coming soon, which will likely make it onto our holiday list as well.

So I was at a local bookstore today and what did I happen to find? 😆

I had never seen any Pern books in Spanish before. And those covers are pretty!
