Editor's Notes

December 11, 2018:

Ensuring each game was fun and exciting for a minimum of two players took priority in the rankings, so you'll find an assortment of diversions specifically designed for a couple, and some that are just great to play with two people, but can accommodate more if desired. Beyond that, it was mostly a matter of including selections that would appeal to a variety of personality types.

Born in Arizona, Gia is a writer and autodidact who fled the heat of the desert for California, where she enjoys drinking beer, overanalyzing the minutiae of life, and channeling Rick Steves. After arriving in Los Angeles a decade ago, she quickly nabbed a copywriting job at a major clothing company and derived years of editing and proofreading experience from her tenure there, all while sharpening her skills further with myriad freelance projects. In her spare time, she teaches herself French and Italian, has earned an ESL teaching certificate, traveled extensively throughout Europe and the United States, and unashamedly devours television shows and books. The result of these pursuits is expertise in fashion, travel, beauty, literature, textbooks, and pop culture, in addition to whatever obsession consumes her next.
