In recent years, board games have been gaining popularity. As electronic devices have increasingly taken center stage in our lives, board games provide an effective counterbalance that helps us put our phones and tablets aside for a few hours. Board games help us slow down the pace of life, spend time with friends and family, and compete in good spirits around the kitchen table. The appeal should not be surprising, as playing board games is, in many ways, ingrained in our DNA. Archaeologists have found evidence that people played board games as far back as prehistoric times. The first actual game revolves around something that remains central to board games today - dice! In Turkey, a collection of 49 carved, painted stones dating back to 5000 BC was discovered. These are the earliest known game pieces ever found. Similar pieces have been found in the so-called Fertile Crescent, which encompasses the regions around the Nile, Tigris, and Euphrates in the Middle East. Since the dawn of civilization, people have played board games, and from this rich history, we have compiled this collection of 10 classic games.
