Discover the unsung heroes of the gaming world as we sit down with Lynn Potyen, the mastermind behind the GameBoard, to celebrate Women's History Month. Lynn shares her journey in the industry, shining a light on trailblazing women who are reshaping our approach to board games.
Tune in for a riveting exploration of how board games are more than just leisure; they're a lifeline to brain health and social bonds. As we reminisce about the classics and navigate the resurgence of board gaming across generations, you'll be inspired to look at your next game night through a fresh lens—one that sharpens the mind and fortifies friendships. This episode isn't just a homage to female entrepreneurs—it's a call to bring joy, connection, and mental fitness to your own table.
Tune in as we discuss:

• a French study that links board game play with reduced dementia risk.
• the huge increase in women-focused games as well as women leaders in the game space.
• how games helped her son develop and build confidence after his diagnosis with dysgraphia.
