Board Games

While many toys have a stigma that defines them as being "just for kids," board games can be enjoyed by people of all ages. These products are constantly evolving to keep gameplay fresh, and they can stimulate your mind in addition to promoting social skills and allowing players to have fun. Featured here at Walgreens, we have a wide selection of board games for kids, adults, and families.

A History of Board Games

Modern board games actually have a long history behind them. Artifacts discovered from Ancient Egypt prove that people have been playing these sorts of games for thousands of years. Of course, board games have evolved significantly in recent times, and there are several different varieties available today.

Different Types of Board Games

Some games might be based on strategy, luck, or some combination of the two, and gameplay often revolves around rolling dice or moving across the board based on a predetermined set of rules. Trivia games test your knowledge about certain topics and pit players against each other to see who can answer the most questions correctly. Other games encourage groups of players to work together and are based more on being social than actually trying to win.

Are Board Games Good for Your Brain?

No matter how old you are, there might be several benefits to playing board games. For young children, many games encourage critical thinking and teach little ones about how to follow rules and develop strategy. They might also encourage a healthy spirit of competition by teaching kids how to win and lose gracefully. Kids and adults can both benefit from the social aspects of board games because these toys might encourage you to interact with other people in different ways and can be excellent tools to help build friendships. Even older adults playing board games without kids might find that the experience tests mental acuity and helps keep the mind as sharp as possible.

Whether you're teaching your child how to play your favorite game or just getting together with some old friends, it's easy to find the perfect option for a fun night when you browse the selection of board games available from Walgreens.
