### 🧠 You Can’t Chase a Dream in a Tired Body

You only get one body—and it’s the vehicle that will take you to your biggest goals.

No matter what your dream is—starting a business, raising a family, building wealth, or traveling the world—you won’t get far without your health.

The only way to buy back time… is to improve your energy.
And the fastest way to get more energy? Improve your posture, strength, and mobility.

✅ A 2020 review in the Journal of Aging Research found that resistance training alone can significantly increase energy and decrease fatigue—across all ages.

✅ A 2022 Harvard Health report shows posture improvements reduce pain, prevent injury, and directly improve energy output.

✅ Mobility and movement training have been linked to sharper focus, better sleep, and increased productivity (Journal of Strength & Conditioning, 2021).

This isn't about “fitness goals.”

This is about dreams, freedom, and quality of life.

Welcome board gamers who love Cooperative, Worker placement and Builder games. I am hosting this game night to meet with other game enthusiasts in the great St. Pete/West Tampa/Largo area.

We will have about 30 minutes of Meet & Greet and if folks want we may play a party game before deciding on what board game to play. If any of you have your own games, please bring them as it will add variety. Also, if you are an expert rules teacher I welcome you to help all of us understand the rules of the game we decide to play.

Please feel free to bring your own snacks, drinks and foods. There is plenty of parking on the street.

Some of the games that I currently have are:

• FlashPoint and Forbidden Sky both cooperative games
• Red Planet a worker placement game
• Cities Skylines and New York 1901 both builder games.

Once we have an established group we will also play longer Strategy games. Here are more of my games or games I have played: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cmM6ttgmsPMuD3gr9

If you are not familiar with the different categories of board and group card games, here are some of the most common:

• Strategy games: These games usually involve planning and decision-making, and often require a deep understanding of game mechanics. Examples include chess, Go, and Risk.
• Deck-building games: These games involve constructing a deck of cards over the course of the game, and using that deck to achieve a goal. Examples include Dominion, Legendary, and Ascension.
• Cooperative games: These games involve players working together to achieve a goal, rather than competing against each other. Examples include Pandemic, Forbidden Island, and Hanabi.
• Worker placement games: These games involve placing workers on a game board to perform actions, often with limited resources or opportunities. Examples include Agricola, Lords of Waterdeep, and Stone Age.
• Card drafting games: These games involve players drafting cards from a pool, often with limited information or resources. Examples include 7 Wonders, Sushi Go, and Blood Rage.
• Party games: These games are designed to be played in a group, and often involve humor, silliness, or social interaction. Examples include Apples to Apples, Cards Against Humanity, and Pictionary.
• Trivia games: These games involve answering questions on various subjects, often with a time limit or other constraints. Examples include Trivial Pursuit, Jeopardy, and 20 Questions.
• Roll-and-move games: These games involve rolling dice or other random elements to move around a game board, often with a goal of reaching a specific location or completing a task. Examples include Monopoly, Sorry!, and Trouble.

Note: Event held at host's private home where kids and/or pets may be present - While we try to keep our house looking best as possible for game night, we're human just like everyone else so it may not be spotless - please excuse any messes, and if you need us to make space for any snacks you bring please let us know, we're always happy to make room.
