Elven
Games is a dedicated web site for games developed by Danial CrowTalker
as a personal hobby.
Growing
up playing board games was always one of the highlights of living
in a world where the Internet and video games did not exist yet.
In many cases, as kids and families, we played on home made game
boards and had just as much fun on those old wooden boards as we
ever did on commercial game boards.
During
the 70's and 80's, Danial's family spent many evenings and weekends
playing board games to get out of the heat of the desert during
the summer and out of the cold during the winter. As an inventor
and builder, it wasn't unusual for new games either invented, or
made up from ancient games to show up in the family household to
be played and tested. Those were the fun days when just playing
with family and friends was simple and we enjoyed each others company.
Board
games are still one of Danial's personal hobbies and will probably
always be as new games are still being invented and tested for play
in the family home.
Board
games bring people together. It makes you think, plan, and interact
on a level that is competitive in a good way, and keeps the mind
sharp. This is why we like to think that board games will never
become obsolete as they seem to stick around and get stored away
for a while, but always seem to make their way back to the table
on occasion.
Danial
held a game night at a local large used book store that is very
popular in Tucson. People of all ages came to this event or just
walked in to see what was going on. It was fantastic to see grandparents
interacting with kids, parents against parents, kids playing with
other kids, and people just enjoying themselves.
It
wasn't but a few minutes and the room was packed. We had about 10
long tables set up with games and all of them were in play at the
same time and people were having a blast. We all had fun and the
experience of seeing your own games being played by people you didn't
know, and having fun at it was exhilarating.
Elven
Games™ will continue to grow as Danial has time to make or
invent new games to add to this site.
To
simplify keeping up with all of Danial's game related products,
all of our games here are now being placed on the ELVEN GAMES™
web site and in the online store for purchasing. This web site will
remain as the ELVEN GAMES™ official information site and each
game's page will have a direct link to our online store to buy them
from here.
