The popularity of the board games is on the rise even in this era of video games. Here we have decoded people’s obsession for board games. Board games are still popular in this era dominated by video games. According to New Statesman, tabletop games made six times more money than video games on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter in the first half of 2016. Euromonitor International, on the other hand, found that the sale of tabletop games has increased nearly 1 percent every year and is expected to surge in years to come. And tabletop cafes are opening across the world, with 200 opening up in Beijing alone, another interesting survey by Geek and Sundry, a tabletop website. All studies indicate the rising popularity of the board games among people of all age. “Without a doubt, we are in the middle of the golden age of board games," says Nick Meenachan, founder of the YouTube channel Board Game Brawl. Why are board games so popular? First and foremost,board gamesprovide enjoyment and excitement most people seek. The excitement factor is created in the imagination of the players, rather than being delivered by the game itself. You use your brain to come up with the best game plan to outwit your opponent, and you are doing it all yourself. Then they get an opportunity to play the games with their friends and family, meaning that the pleasure of playing just gets double. Board games increase interaction levels among individuals more than video games. On a lazy evening, nothing can beat the pleasure of playing board games with your loved ones. Whether you are at home or on a picnic, just unfold the game to get started. Another reason for their rise in popularity is that these games test your intelligence, strategy building and decision making with real players. It is something you can’t get while playing a video game. Board games like chess are believed to improve players cognitive ability. One last thing—board games don’t cause eye strain like the video games. You can play them as long as you want to! ...read more
