This week, we say goodbye to 2020 and most people will probably say good riddance.
While we can't kick off the New Year with a bang like past years, there's still some ways to celebrate without leaving home.
One way is with a good old-fashioned board game. This is something Gather and Game on Buffalo’s west side specializes in.

Co-owner of the store, Joe Petri, says they have games for everyone and every age in the household, from deduction games, strategy games, or even a simple two-player game.
It's also one thing that doesn’t require a TV or phone screen and it's something fun you can do without leaving the house.
He says he has seen a resurgence in board games in the last 20 years, but especially since March.
"I found when the shutdown came in March, almost all of my heavier thinking games got scooped up because people had time," he said. "We've got hundreds of games for every level and interest of gamer."
Gather and Game also offers an online store with curbside pick-up and delivery.
