Board Games Bring People Together
Board games are different from television, movies, and computer
games because they are an active form of social entertainment. They provide an
opportunity for friends and families to have fun, interact, and get to know the
people they care about. Board games have remained popular for
thousands of years precisely because interaction with a screen cannot replace interaction
with other people. "Pediatricians are advising parents to limit screen time to
two hours a day [and] parents are increasingly seeking toys that will help make their
kids physically and socially adept." (Business Week - Dear Santa; Skip the batteries - 2005-10-31)
Board Games are Cost-Effective
There are very few things that 4 people can do together for the price of a board game. Going to the movies, going to dinner, or going to a sporting event are all more expensive than buying a board game. The best part is that a board game goes in your closet and can be played again and again, providing a lifetime of wonderful memories.
