In today's age of technology, board games have taken a back seat to tablet-based games that are often played in isolation. On the other hand, board games are interactive, they help build learning, social, and communication skills, as well as improve verbal abilities and attention skills by developing the ability to concentrate and focus for longer periods of time.
