Board games for adults
During my studies the games went along, but they became a bit in the background. Although, they moved outside and were for larger groups. I became a member of a children’s activities committee run by students. We organized holiday weeks for children from families who could not afford a holiday so easily. During my entire study, I was playing outside full-time every holiday for two weeks. Under the guise of ‘fun for the kids’ I had a lot of fun myself.
My studies are now light years behind me, I teach Dutch, I have a 13-year-old son and I live in a terraced house. In that house are a number of cabinets full of games. Because the game world has also matured. Dare I say we live in the Golden Age of games! Monopoly and the Game of Goose have now been overtaken by Catan, Carcassonne, Pandemic, Codenames: games around all kinds of themes and with different game mechanics.
