Games, Games, and more Games







If it has been a while since you’ve had fun, this is a sure fire way to renew that level of excitement that used to exist in your life. What am I talking about? I am talking about gathering together a group of at least 5 friends of yours and having a game night!

I know might not sound that interesting, but let me explain all of the benefits. First, an in house game night is a great way to reconnect with your friends. For most of us who are in school right now, we can’t even recall the last time that we went out or even saw our friends. Having a games night would give you and your friends an opportunity to catch up.

Second, having a game night would allow you to jog your brain, even when you feel completely overwhelmed. Games like Scattegories, Guesstures, and Cranium are sure to wake up the creative side of brain that has been begging to be stimulated. Often times we, as students, get so wrapped up in doing the school thing that we completely neglect our wild, creative side.

Third, and most important, having a games night is a learning experience. Who ever thought that playing games would make you smarter, but most games can teach you something that you never knew before. Scrabble is a great game for learning new words, CSI is great for honing that investigative portion of the brain while learning new medical terminology, and Chess is a great game for learning logic and strategy.

Remember, school is something that most of go to in hopes of having a prosperous future. It isn’t meant to torment us into having no life at all. If you haven’t seen your friends in a while, and they need some fun time like you, put together a games night. You won’t be sorry you did!

Note: Below is a probable list of how much each board game is going to cost, and where you can get it from. Most of these games cost more than $20 so put your money with a friend and enjoy!
