My first job out of college was working at Gamestop. And one of the biggest things I learned was parents don’t really know what gifts to get their gamer kids.

So parents, I wanted to make a quick thread here suggesting some fun things you can get your kids for Christmas.

2/ Star Wars Rebellion is probably the greatest strategy board game ever made. Fantasy flight is losing the Star Wars license so this is one of your last chances to get this.

I cannot recommend this enough. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Rebellion-Board-Game/dp/B017MLIGP0/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=fantasy+flight+games+star+wars+rebellion+board+game&qid=1607359822&sprefix=fantasy+flight+games+star+wars+rebellio&sr=8-3

3/ With Cyberpunk coming out this week, it’s a good bet that if your kid plays games on steam they are looking to upgrade their PC.

A @Newegg gift card is a great way to help them do that. I would suggest between $150 and $300.

4/ The best video game system for almost anyone is a Nintendo Switch. if they don’t have a switch already, this is a slam dunk.

Don’t get tricked into paying more than $500 for these in silly bundles. https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Neon-Blue-Joy%E2%80%91/dp/B07VGRJDFY?ref_=ast_sto_dp

5/ A fun stocking stuffer gift is Final Fantasy TCG. This starter set is just $30, and well worth your time. It’s easy to play but incredibly layered. https://www.amazon.com/Final-Fantasy-Sephiroth-Player-Starter/dp/B083FDP7JK/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=final+fantasy+trading+card+game+starter+deck&qid=1607359978&sprefix=final+fantasy+trading&sr=8-5

6/ Last one. Star Wars Armada is probably the greatest miniature game ever made. Not only do you get gorgeous models of chips, you get a fun game you can play on the table top.

A new expansion just came out so there’s a lot of life in it. https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Armada-Core-Set/dp/1616619937/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=star+wars+armada&qid=1607360088&sprefix=star+wars+ar&sr=8-7
