Traditional board games are gradually becoming a thing of the past, giving way to video games and mobile apps, but on the other hand, they are finding new life. I believe that the cultural significance of board games will definitely not disappear, and here is why. As stated in https://captionspoint.com/traditional-board-games-in-the-digital-age-cultural-relevance/, board games are not just entertainment, they are a whole social practice. Playing a game of Monopoly or Twister is not only a way to spend time playing, but also to strengthen ties by communicating with loved ones or friends. For example, in countries like Japan and South Korea, board games as a cultural element are still very popular, despite the massive spread of mobile games and virtual platforms. In some cases, games like the Japanese Go or the traditional Mahjong not only retain their significance, but also help to instill cultural values ​​and traditions in young people. It is a way to connect generations, to pass on experiences and knowledge. Secondly, the current interest in board games is, to some extent, a response to excessive digitalization. Today, many people are looking for “live” communication, and board games are a great way to escape from the screen and spend time in a real social environment. I recently attended several board game events and was pleasantly surprised by how many young people, including teenagers and even children, played board games, creating their own clubs and participating in tournaments. This once again confirms that traditional games not only retain their importance, but also acquire new interest. It has become a kind of trend: to play “good old” board games, especially with friends and family.
