meet the characters that are the triple g’s
The Gen-X Game Girls aka Triple G’s meet monthly to try out table-top games and have an excuse to gather despite their busy lives. For two years Mira has curated a group of six women, similar in their intellect and love of a good puzzle, but unique in almost every other way. The women have stayed the same, but their plus ones are a revolving door of friends, lovers and family members.
Unlike the games they learn to play, the rulebook for life and relationships is ever changing.

Penny: The Giver
Plus-sized in body and heart Penelope is known for pouring love into everything; especially baked goods and daughter Olivia. On the cusp of an empty nest and a silver anniversary, she is forced to acknowledge the hole inside from tirelessly giving to others, often at the expense of her own identity.

Gretchen: The rebel
Partner at a Seattle law firm, Gretchen lives her mantra ‘pretty is good but smart is better’ and enjoys finding ways to bend the rules while destroying the “dumb blonde” caricature with her sharp tongue, quick wit, and fierce advocacy for social justice.

Willa: The Superhero
No-nonsense trauma nurse by day, secret cosplaying nerd by night. The youngest in the group, Willa believes she is at her best when she has a role to play, so finding a group of women who want to know her without a mask or scrubs can be unnerving. Willa and the Westleys, coming in 2023.
April: The gardener
Her tiny frame and fashion sense resemble her prolific garden: chaotic, bursting with colors, and smelling of cedar mulch and lavender. Having put aside her own dreams to care for the grandmother who raised her, she now faces turning fifty alone and at risk of losing everything dear to her.

Eve: The intuitive
With stunning long black hair and scholarly glasses, Eve is often quietly using her therapist skills to read the emotional temperature of the room, until the wine flows and a simple game of “Cards Against Humanity” can turn into a group Rorschach test.
Mira: the connector
What started as a way to have fun and build community became a tether, as Mira found herself first raising grandkids for her struggling son, and then tragically widowed. For two years Mira has curated a group of six women, similar in their intellect and love of a good puzzle, but unique in almost every other way.
