My Dream Gamer Girl Setup – Day 7 | Spooktacular 2022

BySarra Cannon

I can’t even tell you how much I have dreamed of someday having a large gaming room for the whole family! Ever since we saw that our son, Andrew, loved gaming as much as we do, we’ve been dreaming of a family game room, but I wanted it to be big enough and flexible enough that we could each have a space to decorate and make all our own.

When we found this house, we just knew it was perfect, in more ways than one. One way, though, for sure, was this flex space above the garage. Gaming room perfection! Watch my welcome video for Day 7 below, check out the daily giveaway, and then meet up with me at Noon Eastern for a Premiere of my DREAM gamer girl setup and my awesome family gaming room on YouTube.

Welcome to Day 7!

Hanging in a space of honor in my game room are three posters. Each one is the base artwork of a book cover from the beginning of my career. Beautiful Demons. Inner Demons. Bitter Demons. Today’s giveaway is to send one winner a matching set of three posters, all signed by me!

  44. My family loves to play card games. We’re big on Magic: The Gathering, and on Cards Against Humanity (both the adult and the family versions). My husband loves to play Civilizations, and my daughter loves to play Kiloblocks and Prodigy. I’m somewhat addicted to a couple of game apps, Lily’s Garden, Penny & Flo, Design Home, and Bubble Witch Saga 3! Haha! I lose so much time just playing just those games, I’m afraid to even look at anything else more serious. Lol! But I love your amazing setup and what a cool way for your family to do something together that is so meaningful for you!

  45. I should also thank you for the beautiful desktop background! It forced me to clean up the desktop on my laptop so I could appreciate Ravven’s beautiful artwork. She also did the cover for my YA novel that has not been released yet. She’s Ah-MAZE-ing!!!

  46. My favourite game is Skyrim. It’s the first game me and my boyfriend played together (well, it’s a single player so he played and I watched ^_^) and it was my introduction to the world of computer gaming.
    We also love playing boardgames, especially when we invite friends over. Cosmic encounter and Arkham horror are our favourites.
    Love your setup and the beautiful wallpaper!

  47. I always liked cluedo, but don’t mind two handed patience or a game named bang. Just started playing dungeons and dragons. It’s the company that makes it fun
