In our gadget-obsessed, fast-moving world, you might not expect that the humble board game would hold much appeal anymore. After all, how can a few pieces of decorated cardboard and some cheap figurines compete with today's sophisticated high-tech electronics? Yet, it appears that the old-fashioned simplicity of classic board games is exactly what the weary world is craving now, because sales are surging! If the antidote to too much virtual reality is actual reality, well then, board games are just the cure we need. Is there anything more real than sitting down with a group of people to play a game together? From the rule-mongering tyrants of the tabletop to the dreamy types who prefer to make it up as they go along, sometimes just getting started can be a challenge. But when we do, what a raucously fun bonding experience it can be. Add a rainy day and a fireplace. . . well, it just doesn't get much better.
Whether you consider board games a serious sport or you think they're called board games for a reason, chances are you've played one or two in your lifetime and will find some old favorites in this quiz! Playing with your pals is awesome, of course, but one special aspect of classic board games is their ability to transcend generations: Monopoly is Monopoly, no matter your age.
OK, it's time to play this game—and prove you've got enough of it to put some skin in it!
