Board games are good for you, actually. While that in itself is not news, I thought I'd draw your attention to some brilliant new research being undertaken in Japan that further cements the fact that board games are not just great for our cognitive health, but can also be helpful in battling dementia.
We, as likers of the best board games, have understood the benefits of board games for generations. The ancient Lydians survived years of famine by board gaming one day, and eating the next in case you didn't know (I had to get this fact in here). But as we move into a supremely tech-obsessed future, it's great to see mental health studies showing that board games aren't just a waste of time, but that they can be pivotal in keeping our minds active and healthy.
