Nancy Linde

As a child, Nancy Linde occasionally pretended to be sick so she could get out of school and spend time playing games with her mom. Those hours sparked a lifelong love of games. Years later, when Nancy’s mom needed help transitioning into assisted living, Nancy saw firsthand how important it is to stay mentally engaged, socially connected, and intellectually challenged as we age. She also realized that many activities designed for elders failed to respect their intelligence, curiosity, and rich life experience. To meet that need, Nancy created Never2Old4Games, a website where activity professionals can find games that encourage conversation, laughter, learning, and cognitive wellness. She has also written several bestselling books of games and puzzles, where hundreds of thousands of readers discover that keeping the mind active can also be great fun. Nancy's mission has never changed: to use games to remind us all that we're never too old to learn, laugh, and play.
