The vast majority of us are in love with action and RPG games when we are children or teenagers. Who has never played games such as GTA 5, Red Dead Redemption 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Call of Duty, FIFA, and so on? But as we mature, we naturally tend to give more attention to board games such as chess, backgammon, Monopoly, and so on.
Nowadays, when it’s almost impossible to imagine our lives without our smartphones or laptops, board games can also be played online or on the computer. In other words, you can play those classic board games directly on a display rather than doing it the old-fashioned way.
Therefore, let’s find out which board games you can still play in 2023 without the danger of getting bored, shall we? Behold our selections:
Chess
Chess has a long history behind it, as it was invented during the 6th century by the Indians. Few board games will put your mind to work as much as chess can do. This is a highly strategic board game that millions of people play today, and the best chess players out there also have very high IQs.
To play chess, two players will confront one another using pieces that resemble armies. They’ll have to do everything to advance their troops, capture the opponent’s piece, take advantage of the queen’s overwhelming powers, and ultimately capture the king of the opponent. Capturing the king wins the game, although it’s a lot more difficult than it sounds.
Monopoly
Monopoly can train you to become a true investor and entrepreneur. It’s a board game in which you play the role of a mayor of a town, meaning that you have authority over properties to do with them as you please. You have to invest and find a purpose for your properties in this game, as well as try to become even richer. The famous American entrepreneur and investor Robert Kiyosaki recommended this game as well for those who are willing to become rich. Surely, he doesn’t say that you can become rich by simply playing Monopoly. Instead, he claims that this game can teach you some of the entrepreneurial strategies you need to try to become a rich person.
Scrabble
Scrabble is one of the classic word games out there, and it has been popular for entire decades. It was created by Alfred Butts almost a century ago, and it was later refined and trademarked by James Brunot.
Those who play Scrabble need to use letter tiles to create words on the game board. You will obviously need a good understanding of a language if you want to be a good Scrabble player. Each of the letters has a point value, while the goal is to score the most points as you create high-scoring words.
Sorry!
Sorry! is considered a classic family game where as a player, your job is to move pawns around the board as you aim to become the first who gets all of their pawns from the start to the home space. While nobody can deny that Sorryl includes a fair amount of strategy, the truth is that you also need luck to prevail while playing it.
Sorry! was created way back in the 1920s and trademarked about a decade later. The game was initially inspired by Pachisi, meaning an ancient Indian game. In Sorry!, there is a deck of cards that tell the movement of the pawns, while players have to strategically navigate their pieces while using special cards that allow them to move in different directions.
