Hi all I was just wondering, in today's age of IT and computer
games what is the role of boardgames and cardgames in terms of
entertainment today? In the past games like rubby(im not sure if
this is how you spell it), carom(again unsure of spelling) and
games like monopoly were great fun for children and family and was
a great way of getting together with friends or family.
However in today's society people often coop themselves up in
their own room furiously typing on their keyboard trying to fight
monsters or jumping about in their living room playing Wii. It is
not uncommon to see a typical Singaporean family with each member
engaged in their own isolated activity.
Therefore my question here is what are your perspective on
boardgames today? Is there a market for it? Would it be good family
entertainment? And what makes you motivated to play boardgames as a
motivation with family and friends as a good get-together
past-time?
All opinions are welcomed!
