Hey Bluesky, we're Ambie (@ambierona.bsky.social) and Crystal (@crystaldax.bsky.social)! We started the first all-women-hosted board game podcast in 2016 and we put out a new episode every two weeks. We also make YouTube videos and sometimes live stream. Add us if you like board games!
I’ve been wanting to make this video for a while and I finally made it! Here are some gift ideas for young kids that aren’t just board games (but are related)!
