Why do we love board games? - Artūrs
Board games are more than just entertainment — they provide unique opportunities to enjoy brain training, social interaction, and shared adventure stories. But why exactly do we, as adults, love board games so much? Here are some of my personal reasons, which I hope will inspire others as well.
1. Mind training
After graduating from school and college, I realized that I was missing the opportunity to exercise my mind with challenging tasks and abstract thinking. Everyday life often prevents us from indulging in such mental stimulation, but board games bring it back. They are an opportunity to take on solving various tasks in a closed system, reminiscent of the logic tasks from our study days. Board games offer what could be called a mental workout, allowing us to challenge ourselves and improve our ability to think strategically.
2. Social interaction
Unlike video games, board games encourage social interaction. When playing board games, you inevitably communicate with other players, whether you're cooperating or competing. This makes board games a great way to spend time with friends and family. I personally love that playing board games builds strong bonds between people, as the game often leads to exciting conversations and fun moments.
3. Game stories and "theater"
Another attraction of board games is their ability to tell stories. They are like a small theater in which all players participate according to the same rules, but each plays their own role. Some focus on winning, others on cooperation, and some simply on enjoying the game and getting involved in the events. This shared story that the game creates makes each game unique. For example, I really like the game “Taverns of Tiefenthal” because its mechanics and player actions perfectly reflect the theme of the game - managing a medieval tavern. Each player brings their own individual touch to the game, thus helping the story come to life.
Summary
Board games are much more than just entertainment. They allow us to train our minds, interact socially, and experience unforgettable stories. In adult life, board games are often the element that allows us to return to creative thinking and intellectual entertainment. We, at Brain Games, are proud to offer these experiences to all game lovers.
