Do you play more than before you got your deck?

Do you play the same kinds of games, or do you play different types of games now?

Do you still play at the same times or places, or have those changed?

Are there any other significant changes to your playing habits?

I am a father of young children. Prior to my deck, I would be just too tired by the time the kids were asleep to go downstairs in my basement and play on my desktop. That just led to me playing games maybe once a week on the weekend.

Now that I have a deck, I can kick my feet up on the couch and play for an hour or two before bed.

Because of the deck I actually am able to make time to play games. Without the deck I just skip games altogether during the week.
