Hey, I’m Sam. I’m a journalist using this platform to write about things I’m passionate about and tell stories that don’t fit into my day job.

I’m obsessed with games of every sort, board, video, card, skill and just about every sport out there. This newsletter is to share stories from my life, introduce you to obscure games, and write about how the way we play shapes the world.

You can follow all of my work on Twitter, @samjmintz.
