Only War for Christmas: How to Defend Warhammer for Teenage Boys

Older relative: “Well I’m not buying him (nose wrinkle) Warhammer.”
Fellow parent: “Oh God, Warhammer. We’re trying to steer him away from that!”
Another parent: “But it’s sooo expensive.”
It’s the run up to Christmas and people want to know what older and teenage boys want, and — just like with books — the boys, the geeky ones at least, want the wrong things.
Except of course, I think these are right things and I want to yell:
There’s this thing you can get that coaches boys in applied game theory, and keeps them telling stories, reading books, engaging with craft, and gathering with friends away from a screen (sometimes even organising them). It also enables them to talk to older boys and adults as peers, and take their place in a multi-generational community… No, it’s not an educational game. No… it’s not an after school club… It’s… Warhammer!!!
