I have loved board gaming since I was a young kid. Set up the board, draw cards, roll the dice, let's go! I especially love games that simulate historical events. These are games where the theme is paramount. Nobody would claim that Monopoly is a simulation of the real estate business and I doubt you could design such a game that would be fun to play. History, on the other hand, and military history especially, is ripe for games that are fun to play AND give you a sense of what the real event might have been like. That is my sweet spot.
