Teachers Play Games

We asked LTSS Teachers and Staff about some of their favourite games to play. Here are some of the replies:

Mr. Ferrier played Axis & Allies when he was a kid. Now he loves Yahtzee, and the My Little Pony game, although his daughter beats him every time.

Ms. Truss loves Arkham Horror. She also mentioned Love Letter, Jaipur and Taco Cat.

Mr. Donaldson’s favourites include Settlers of Catan, Sequence, Cribbage, D&D, Magic: The Gathering, and Chess

Other teacher favourites:

Mr. Birnbaum is a big fan of Dungeons and Dragons, Scum & Villainy, Dungeon World, and Blades in the Dark.
Ms. Calla plays Pandemic with family and friends, along with other favourites such as Catan, Ticket to Ride, Munchkin, Cards Against Humanity, and Cribbage.
Dr. Robinson says that Sorry taught her how to lose, and that Scrabble taught her how to lose to her Mother every time they played. She prefers lawn games like Bocce and Cornhole.
Ms. Newton likes to play Cribbage, Monopoly Deal, Dutch Blitz, Speed, Uzzle, Jenga, Mahjong and her ultimate favourite, Mancala!
Ms. Stroh likes to play Exploding Kittens with her kids. She also likes Sequence, Settlers of Catan, Monopoly Deal and Ticket to Ride.
