Chatham Hill Games is a small magazine about the games people gather to play — the board games stacked by the door, the long-running RPG campaigns, the video games we grew up on, and the quiet craft that holds all of it together. We care less about hype cycles and review scores and more about what actually happens when friends sit down at a table and reach for a box.
The site is written and edited by Marcus Feld, who has spent the better part of two decades hosting game nights, running campaigns that went on far too long, and losing graciously at far too many co-ops. Marcus started Chatham Hill Games because most coverage of the hobby treats games as products to be ranked, when the more interesting story is how they bring people together.
Everything here is written from the point of view of someone who plays — not a marketer, not a press release. We write about strategy without taking the fun out of it, about design without the jargon, and about gaming culture as something lived rather than analysed from a distance. If a piece can't make you want to call a friend and set up a table, we probably shouldn't have published it.
We're always glad to hear from readers, designers, and fellow hosts. Drop a line any time at [email protected] — whether it's a game we should be playing, a story worth telling, or just an argument about whether luck belongs in strategy games.
