When I think of all the things that I could be thankful for, one of the first things that comes to mind is all the games I&#39;ve played.

A man wearing a black T-shirt with the letters M.I.B. on the back, grabbed me and asked if I wanted to play. I said &quot;Yes,&quot; and sat down with a variety of people: male and female, old and young. Back then, I was floored by the diversity of the players. I knew people played <i><b>Dungeons and Dragons</b></i>, <a href="http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/"><i><b>GURPS</b></i></a>, and (in my case) <i><b>Vampire: the Masquerade</b></i>.

What I didn&#39;t realize was that <i><b>Munchkin</b></i>&nbsp;was a new kind of game for me. My immediate impression was that this silly game with its cartoon-style artwork wasn&#39;t just for serious players or tournament winners, it was for the geek in all of us.

I giggled, I made other people cry, and I proudly showed off my min/maxer side.
