Summary
My family loves playing board games - it has become our family tradition in some form or another because it is something we can all enjoy.
I personally think that board games can be in box form but also online and even video games.
From my childhood to now, I have seen board games grow from tabletop Shoots and Ladders to online and digital games.
I know most people will not consider cards to be a board game, but I feel like there are also a lot of card-based board games.
Not only are board games socially beneficial, they may also improve your mental health.
A study has shown that there is a relationship between playing board games and the risk of dementia.
There are many benefits to playing board games, but the one thing I feel most strongly about is that they are a pastime that never goes out of style.
