What are board games?
Board games are games that are played on a board, typically made of paper, cardboard, or wood. They can also be played digitally. The board is usually marked with a grid or pattern of squares or other shapes, and players move game pieces or tokens around the board according to the rules of the game.
Board games are most often played with two or more players and often involve elements of strategy, skill, and luck. Examples of board games include classic games like chess, checkers, and backgammon, as well as modern board games like Monopoly, Settlers of Catan, Pandemic, and Ticket to Ride. Board games can be enjoyed as a social activity with family and friends or as a solo pastime by playing digitally against the computer or other players.
