“I couldn’t spend much time playing with my kids, since I wasn’t able to join in on ball games or video games. But playing cards like Trumps meant a lot, because all four of us could enjoy it together. We mostly played One Card as it was the only game that we could all play given our circumstances. As for Othello, I played it with my second child, who loved strategy games and always brought it out. I’d let him win sometimes, and he loved it. To me, these games were meaningful tools that we could share while kids grew up.”
