A blog about New Haven
Seven years ago, I moved to East Rock. And thus began my New Haven journey. I didn’t know then how much my life would change in the coming years. What began as an attempt to save money on rent by living with roommates turned into a love for a city and eventually, purchasing a home … Read more
Finally, we finish the conversation with Elm City Games Owner Matt Fantastic, as we continue the conversation with co-host Colin Ryan. In Part 2 of this two-part episode, our favorite board games, try to rebrand a game in the studio, and of course, we talk pizza.
