, they may even make you a nicer and more likable person. It’s becoming more challenging to interact with our friends and family these days even when you’re together because your eyes are glued to your smartphone. Sounds familiar? I feel you.
Thanks to the influx of board game cafés scattered around the metro, we have been provided with an actual place for interaction and conversation. Board games put us in a situation where we are required to sit down in the same room, learn, and concentrate on the task at hand. Human connection seems to be a rare commodity in a society that is constantly being interrupted by technology. I need it, you need it, we all need it.
Aside from human connection, board games also elicit the concept of turn-taking, rules, and fairness. “Adults who spend all day sitting in front of a computer want to spend time with people,” says Jon Freeman, a former neuroscientist who up and left the research world to open. “It’s really about people having like-minded, shared experiences. We’d lost access to that, and places like board game cafés have opened up access,” Freeman adds.
