Renee has loved board and card games ever since she was a kid playing Skip-Bo and Monopoly on snow days. Her tastes have evolved since then, and her favourite games now include almost any tile-laying game, Battlestar Galactica, Hanabi, Quacks of Quedlinburg, and War of the Ring. She is married to Kylie, who owns Games Unlimited in Pittsburgh, and they are raising two game-loving meeples. For her day job, Renee teaches college writing.
