The Games People Play

The first type of game will allow you to relax quietly but will also keep your brain active. For example, Sudoku mentally challenges players to look for patterns with numbers. Other brain games such as crossword puzzles, word search puzzles, and word jumbles require language skills. Next, if you prefer spending time with others, there are games with a social element. For instance, when you play checkers or chess or when you play cards with a group of friends, you are also developing personal relationships. The same is true of board games such as monopoly and Settlers of Catan, which have been bringing people together for friendly competition for decades. Finally, there are games for people who like the idea of being in a team and enjoy physical activity. The most obvious examples are sports such as basketball, baseball, and soccer, but party games such as chards can get quite physical as well. Indeed, the wide variety of games are offering something to just about everyone.
