Ben & Jessa Greenfield have been playing card games and board games with their family almost every night for years. Their twin sons River and Taryn just turned 18 and are now designing and selling their own card games as a business. That didn't happen by accident.
In this conversation with Jon, Ben and Jessa go deep on the small daily traditions that built their family. Not the big vacations. Not the epic annual events. The stuff that happens every single night.
What they cover:
Why they play games at dinner almost every night and how it became their family's most important tradition
How to pick games that actually work (15-30 minutes, easy to learn, playable while eating)
Why the first year of playing games with young kids is boring and why you keep going anyway
The nightly family party: games, guitar, a song, prayer, cooking together, and why guests think they planned a special evening when it's just a Tuesday
Why making your home a fun place to be is the best alternative to screens
Jessa on the power of solo prayer hikes for self-reflection as a mom
Ben on why little stones make big ripples and why two miles every morning beats 46 miles once a month
Why 90% of the time you spend with your kids is over by 18 and how they plan to defy that → How their sons went from playing games to designing them to launching a Kickstarter
If your family dinners feel rushed, if screens are winning, or if you've been wanting a simple tradition that actually sticks, start here.
