Remember the days when you stayed in to play a board game. Remember when you were a kid and enjoyed Monopoly and Candyland? Today, society is all about technology moving as fast as the internet. However, in the midst of all of this, I found a way to slow down and stay in. The best part is, it only has two words: Mad Gab.

Mad Gab is actually a card game. There is a set of cards and each card has two sides. One side is orange and one side is blue. According to Mad Gab, the orange side is…
