If you have younger siblings, kids of your own, or little cousins who attach themselves to your hip at any family gathering, you’ve likely had to help them with their homework once or twice. And if so, you know from experience that you never want to be the adult who looks at the paper and realises you can’t solve an equation designed for sixth graders.
Don’t worry, there’s really no shame in it! The life of adulthood brings with it complications and complexities that often leave our brains omitting all those nuggets of information we now deem unnecessary. However, it does bring into relevance the importance of keeping our minds as sharp and refined as we possibly can. The brain may not be a muscle, but a little regular training never hurt anyone. Strategy games turn that mental workout into playtime, and our board games are where the real reps happen.
Grab your partner and immerse yourselves in brain-bending adventures that simultaneously stimulate your imagination and your frontal lobe. Compete to crown the smartest among you as you enjoy carefully designed expeditions with Lost Ruins of Arnak, build coastal communities in Everdell Farshore, and rise to dominance in The King is Dead; but remember, only the most clever and calculated of players can be named the winner!
