That is awesome! Do you have a community within work that supports this hobby? I know that we take time to support peoples hobbies and lives outside of the scope of our product and jobs. This can be a huge motivator and brings us a lot of joy and bonding for the team. We are people first and we take pride in our different skills and hobbies supporting each other any way we can. We would love to play test a board game!

Not really, no. There's a couple of coworkers that play board games, but other than that, about the most support I get is "How are those games coming along?"

I don't actually try to talk about it that much, just in case someone gets it in there head that board games are somehow a conflict of interest with web development (large corporate environment).

But that's alright, there's actually a decent game designer scene in the region with some regular meetups, and a few friends of mine will happily help me tear apart my designs (a couple are designers themselves).
