There’s no way around it, losing a game can be tough. It doesn’t matter if it’s competitive sports, academics, or a board game. You’ve invested your time, effort, and energy into something and it’s only natural to want to see positive results from that! While anyone at any age can struggle with losing, kids particularly can have a tough time.

Over the years we’ve learned a few different tricks that have helped our kids and others handle losing that you can easily implement in your own home. There’s no one size fits all approach, but hopefully you’ll find here a few tips, tricks, and at the very least support to help you as your gamers work to improve their losing skills.

And just like that, another year has come and gone, and a new year is upon us. But before we rush into 2024, we want to share our top games of 2023. Consider this our 2023 Board Game Wrapped.

It’s party season so we’re sharing some of our favorite games to play with family and friends! The holidays are filled with many different opportunities for parties and gatherings. Whether they are spontaneous or mandatory, we love this chance to bust out some of our favorite games to fit any group and mood. 

We love playing games, especially around the holidays, but sometimes, after all the cooking and cleaning, we love a simple quick activity that we can engage with passively as a family. This is when we bring out the puzzles. Puzzles are perfect for keeping little kids busy while waiting for the rolls to rise, or puzzling alongside others while listening to your current audiobook. Nothing beats the satisfaction of placing the final piece of your puzzle.

This post is sponsored by Renegade Games who we are so excited to partner with to create this special Holiday Gift Guide! We’ve been playing Renegade games for years and are rounding up some of our very favorite games that our family loves! There’s something for every gamer on your list!
