Board Games are a great stress-buster which also teach valuable skills –
Board Games have always been the foremost family entertainment. Although their charm diminished a little with the arrival of video games, in the last few years, they’ve made a massive comeback, especially during the pandemic. Whether it is the classics like Scrabble, Chess, Monopoly, Pictionary and Ludo or the latest fads like Taboo, Sequence, and Catan, there has been a revival in the love for indoor interactive games.
Major players in the board game market are coming up with interesting and innovative games to keep everyone hooked, and so far, the graph is only going upward. With varied options available, sales have boomed in the last five years. Also, the fact that they can be enjoyed by every age group, without much of a hassle plays a huge role in their popularity. In fact, the internet itself has contributed to their success, because now it is much easier to discover, find and buy the latest board games.
Pinal Patel, Founder of the Kukdi Chopdi board game cafe shares how millennials are increasingly turning towards board games for house parties or simply a weekend gathering of friends. “We receive several queries every week regarding the latest additions in board games. ‘Codenames’ is our most popular game because it is interactive, fun and can be played for hours on end. I think playing a board game with your friends or family is the best way to ensure everyone stays off their phones and has a memorable time together,” Pinal shares.
The pandemic has also popularised the concept of digital detox. Going off the grid for a few days and stopping to smell the roses instead is the “new cool” now. The appetite for both classic as well as new board games is prospering and hence Kukdi Chopdi is launching GAME NIGHTS at their cafe called #Fridayfrights. In the hopes of developing a viable board game community in Surat where everyone can enjoy a game with in-person human interaction.
Join the Kukdi Chopdi team on Friday for #Fridayfrights and enjoy a board game while making new friends and munching on delicious food.
