Table games can have a therapeutic effect on people. No matter if it is a classical game like chess or a modern strategy game, they can have a beneficial effect on mental health.

First of all, table games offer valuable mental exercise. They stimulate critical thinking, problem solving and decision making. When you play a game, you need to analyze the current situation, predict future moves and consider the consequences of your actions. This mental activity helps to boost cognitive abilities, increase memory and improve concentration. For people who want to keep their cognitive health and sharp mind, table games offer a fun and effective way to exercise their brain.

Gen Z often resort to digital games – on their phones, tablets, computers or consoles. Although they can also develop thinking, overplaying is associated with eye strain and even sleep problems, while traditional board games can develop logical thinking to a much greater extent.

Besides, board games can function as a stress reliever as they help us think, distract us from problems, laugh with our friends we are with and even make us more confident if we win.

Table games have made a comeback in recent years, partially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the repeated imposition of quarantine during the different waves of the coronavirus, they have become a therapeutic activity after so many families should get used to isolation, home office and spending more time at home. People pulled out of the lockers the old games associated with nostalgia and memories. Board games - old and new - have become a source of not only of entertainment, but also of comfort and social bonding.
