Why Board Games?

For those who are not regular gamers here are a few reasons why you might want to try some of the great selection of board games that we have to offer.

  • Board games have come a long way since Monopoly. If you think all board games are like Monopoly , Cluedo or Risk, it’s like assuming all computer games are like Pong, Space Invaders or PacMan.
  • Can you think of any other occasion which can bring grandparents and kids around a table for 2 hours apart from Christmas Day lunch?
  • These games all have plenty of replayability and offer great value for money. How many afternoons can you occupy a family for £20?
  • Board games are a great alternative to ‘screens’ and allow for and even encourage conversation. Screens don’t.
  • Board games can help players develop thinking skills such as problem solving and strategic thinking.
  • Cooperative games can be a great leveller, allowing multiple players to work together against the game rather than against each other.
  • Stuck for ideas for Christmas presents? With games that are as cheap as a pair of socks, worry no longer.
