There are times when we need something to distract us from work or even from everyday life. If you are fed up with technology, internet or television, board games can create lovely time for you and your family or friends. Board games are games that include counters (pieces of wood or plastic, often called game pieces) moved on a predestinated area or board, according to multiple rules. Board games can be based on strategy, chance or a mixture of both, and usually they have a goal that players aim to reach. Also, one of the more interesting games that you can play with your partner is Juegos Sexuales.
There are board games that require a lot of reasoning (such as chess, go, mancala) and their best players are characterized with high intelligence, but there are also simpler games (like Monopoly, Scrabble, Risk) that do not demand a lot of thinking and are easy to learn and play. There are famous professionals who have devoted their lives to chess or go, while the easier board games are designed mainly for family or social entertaining atmosphere. Board games are usually classified into three kinds: chance, strategy and knowledge.
History of board games
The first board game that is known in history is the chance game named Senet. There is historical evidence that Senet was played in 3500BC. The game was played by the Egyptian royal family. There is carved evidence on their tombs that document their enjoyment in this game. The exact rules of the game are unknown and debatable today, but it is a fact that Senet was a game of chance. There is historical documentation that states the interest of ordinary people of Egypt in such board games, but it is believed that they couldn’t possibly have the time and resources to be able to enjoy them. During the twentieth century, as a result of the rise of the middle class, ordinary people began to get acquainted with board games, regardless of the fact that they were created Before Christ. Chess become very popular in the post war era, especially in Russia and America.
The return of the board games
In the era of technology, computer and video games, board games were a bit forgotten. Since their glorious days of the ’80s, board games had a steady slide until the recent recession, when the sales of the video games suffered because of their high price. Historically, board games always did well in recession times because they are a cheap onetime investment. The innovation is important and new board games are constantly created, but the classic old-fashioned board games like Monopoly or chess remain the most popular.

In a world driven by technology with stained interpersonal relations – we always need warm human interaction and for that purpose the old-school board games are irreplaceable.
