Play Matters

If for no other reason, we play because play is fun. No research needed to tell you that. We’ve each known it as long as we remember. Only since the 1990’s has research on the impact of play for adults began in earnest, in part due to the increasing number of older adults globally. Beginning around the same time the world experienced an explosion of very new types of tabletop games, now being called the “golden age” of modern board games.

Playing games brings people together. Games evoke laughter, conversation, shared experiences, and fun memories. Modern board games that are selected and taught to others with care and purpose become powerful tools for connection and wellbeing.

Meaningful social interaction and mental exercise are essential to our health and wellbeing at every stage of life. Finding opportunities to join others, meaningfully engage with them, and have fun together can be a challenge. People are looking for activities that are easy to learn, create interaction with others, and are fun.
