Now more than ever I feel like I want to play a game that allows me to relax and peace zone out on the couch. After finding Wholesome Direct last year, I knew that this would be what I needed to see if I wanted a catalog of games that would make me smile. This year’s presentation offers a larger selection than last year with almost 100 games to play and a wish list. The following tries to limit my favorites to 25, but trust me, there are more than I expected. How much I will be right spin? This is a court -free place, thank you very much.
