I have been doing quite a bit of reading here the past few days and I am excited to join and get feedback on the projects that I am interested in pursuing. I am a wife/mom and almost empty nester. I am interested in game design as my side hustle ( if anyone here listens to the side hustle school podcast). I have lots of ideas that need to be reigned in and fine tuned and I look forward to working with you all.
Hi All
Welcome to the best design forum about board games there is. We are not perfect but that all part of what makes this place work.
Sounds like you are about to have the time needed to really dive into game design.
Here are some links to get you started (you might already know about some of them)

Welcome! I hope you enjoy everything you will learn here. My suggestions would be to focus on your favorite 2 ideas and get a prototype to the table. There are also a lot of great podcasts out there. I would check out funding the dream on kickstarter first. Each episode is only around 20 minutes and won't overwhelm you.
