BOARD GAMES ONLINE
A fun way to stay connected
with your friends and familiy during the confinement
Board games are traditionally a subset of tabletop games that
involve counters or pieces moved or placed on a pre-marked surface or
"board", according to a set of rules. In common parlance, however, a
board game need not necessarily contain a physical board. Some games are
based on pure strategy, but many contain an element of chance; and some
are purely chance, with no element of skill.
Games usually have a goal that a player aims to achieve. Early board
games represented a battle between two armies, and most modern board
games are still based on defeating opponents in terms of counters,
winning position, or accrual of points.
There are many varieties of board games. Their representation of
real-life situations can range from having no inherent theme, such as
checkers, to having a specific theme and narrative, such as Cluedo.
Rules can range from the very simple, such as in Snakes and Ladders; to
deeply complex, as in Advanced Squad Leader.
The time required to learn to play or master a game varies greatly from
game to game, but is not necessarily correlated with the number or
complexity of rules; games like chess or Go possess relatively simple
rulesets, but have great strategic depth.
