Board games have some advantages over videogames. They have shorter gaming-sessions, a healthier multiplaying and a far stronger flexibility for game-execution and rules-modifications. Boardgames are played with the family and friends on a table and it's up to the players how they handle things.
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoYes, this is also what I was looking for. The thing is that I did not find a game which would be captivating enough for the children to go beyond one session or two. Monopoly: everybody hates everyone afterwards. Settlers of Catan: very repetitive, I believe that we did not grasp the key intent of the game. When they were younger games such as "Mille Bornes" ( a French board game) were OK, but these are really games for small children. They read a lot, do not play videogames very much and do not watch TV, enjoy chess, etc. -- so they seemed like good candidates for board games. I may try D&D (with a real MD) someday, who knowns.
- Doxin 9y agoIn my experience with board games variation is key, Much like most people don't just play one computer game forever either. And yes monopoly is terrible. Catan is mostly something to keep you occupied while conversations happen.
