Games
that Bond (Word count: 267)
Once again, I moan in frustration as the rest
of my family laughs at my misfortune as my dad adds a level 13 monster card on
top of the level 20 monster that I already need to fight preventing me from gaining
my tenth level and winning the game of Munchkin, one of our family’s favorite
Steve Jackson game. When I now look back on my life, growing up the one thing
that I enjoyed most was playing tabletop games with my friends and family.
Whether, it was Magic: The Gathering with my friends, or playing Risk or any
other board game with my family on game night. I feel that playing those games
helped me strengthen my relationships with those that I played with. However I
think this effect is only specific to tabletop games in particular in my
experience because when I play video games it just didn’t feel the same as
sitting down with the people I cared and playing one of the classics. This is
probably the same reason why the number or tabletop games I have sat down and
played all the way through is significantly higher than the number of video
games that I have played all the way through. Another reason why tabletop games
are such an important aspect of my life is because they can help teach you life
skills like lying, resource management, and other social skills. That’s why
tabletop games will always have a special place in my heart forever.
That’s why I believe
that tabletop games can bring people together and also teach us valuable
skills.
