Our Family Plays Games
We are the Fitch Family and we love to play board games! We’re not talking about the games we grew up with such as Monopoly, Sorry, Clue, etc…but the modern board games that are sweeping the planet. If you are interested in learning more about modern board games and have never heard of Settlers of Catan, a.k.a. Catan, Splendor, Ticket to Ride, etc… then this is the FB page for you!
What makes our family different is that we are an African American family who loves to play games with each other and other board gamers. In this hobby, our family is a rarity and we want to become the norm, so we invite you to join us on this journey, which we started several years ago. Follow us and maybe your family will want to play board games too! The Fitch Family!
