Husband, father of two and aging gaming enthusiast. Ok born in 1987 so not that old but adulting does eat up a ton of time. This is why I enjoy the realms games! Being able to play them on mobile has been a blessing for my gaming timing management and to take it one step further I play the paper versions with my family as well. It has even allowed me to scratch that competitive itch which has resulted in 6 Legend Tournament Finals appearances and 4 total trophies between Hero Realms (1) and Star Realms (3).
