We discuss different types of gamers who you might find around your game table and what specific games they might like.  All this discussion is leading up to our game night, the "Game On Invitational", where we'll put our game planning skills to the test!

We've given you our list of gamer archetypes, but what types of people are in YOUR "player's handbook"? E-mail us at [e-mail] or post in our guild!
