Small businesses are an essential part of our communities!  

Meeple Madness is an amazing game store in Braselton, Georgia!  I have spent many hours there with family and friends!  My nephew and I used to go on rainy days and play many different games.  Although you are welcome to go and play for free, we usually bought our favorite!  The people there are amazing, and they are always happy to introduce you to new games!  They even offer personal delivery if you are local!  You may have seen some of my other posts on games.  Play is essential!  Please support this amazing small business by ordering a game today!

Need ideas?  You can call or visit them!  Here are a few of my personal favorites:

Strategy Game:  Onitama

Games involving strategy and luck:  Splendor, Azul, Ticket to Ride

Creative Storytelling:  Dixit

If you are playing with a group of adults, I recommend Detective: A Modern Crime Board Game!  You work cooperatively to solve crimes!  (The crimes are why it is not recommended for children.)  This game also works really well virtually with a document camera.

This may be a little bit of a stretch on a site dedicated to critical thinking and problem solving, but good nutrition is important to thinking skills!  Also, coffee is essential for me to think clearly!   These two small businesses are amazing!

Java Genesis Coffee is absolutely delicious!   You can taste the difference!  If you live near Atlanta, you can buy a buy a cup or beans at several farmers markets around town!  If not, you can have it shipped.  

Fry Farm is owned and operated by the Fry family.  All of their produce is fresh and delicious!  Read about their growing practices on their website.  You will be impressed!  You can find them at farmers markets in the Atlanta area, or you can visit their farm!

What are your favorite small businesses?  How can we support them, especially during this time?  Please share your ideas!  You might help by introducing your favorite businesses to new customers!
