Can you imagine testing board games for a living? Finding new games, learning games, teaching games, is what The Game Guy™ is all about. Meet Erik Szabo, founder of The Game Shop and ultimate Game Guru. Having played over 5,000 different games, Erik knows games inside and out and can tell you all you need to know about any of them.

Erik has shared his expertise from coast to coast with teachers and care providers in over 20 states during seminars and workshops. He provides insightful tips on how to tweak games to fit lesson plans and learning objectives and gives great game play strategies for simply making games more fun or adapting them for educational use in the classroom. He has been honored to be the keynote speaker at several state educational conferences.

But where Erik really shines is helping customers find THE perfect game. Whether it is someone looking for a present for their eight year old niece or a 50 year old couple looking for a new game to play with their friends, Erik can find just the right game. Our favorite thing is watching a customer come into the store in Hatfield, PA and start describing some obscure game that they don't know the name of, and The Game Guy™ immediately says, "Oh, you mean _______," and he almost always gets it right!!

And since he loves to keep people playing, The Game Guy™ will soon be sharing his tips online with a weekly blog about a selected game, video reviews of his favorite games, and tips and ideas for better game play. There's only one Game Guy so keep checking back to TheGameShop.com for this latest feature.
