When strategy, laughs, and memories mix in tabletop games, they become timeless classics. As a 350+ billion dollar industry, board games shine bright because there is no telling which game is going to steal the spotlight each year to become the new phenomenon. Every new game lies a portal of timeless adventure and endless fun. There's something special about the memories created playing board games, that even as adults we tend to go back to that experience to unplug, share laughter, momentarily escape or briefly detach from life's restraints and simply have fun.
As more and more games become major hits each year, it widens the capacity for the industry to attract diverse audience, fuel fresh ideas, and drive innovative thinking. Although the industry is not short on inventiveness, it still lags behind the digital forum, to the point where some might say board games are a dying feature in the general scope of gamification.
Despite this negative feedback from the uninitiated, generation after generation carries the nostalgia that tends to unlock the enduring magic of board games. This might be due to the diversity which arises because some games prioritize strategy, others emphasize humor, and still, others focus on fostering interpersonal connections. However, the wide array of board games available ensures that there is something suited to everyone's tastes on the market.
