In a world where we're more connected than ever, why do so many people feel alone? Scroll through your phone and you'll find thousands of "friends," endless content, and always something to click. But when was the last time you gave your friend a death glare while trading sheep for wheat, still holding a grudge from three games ago? Board games are having a moment, and it’s not just nostalgia.
They force us to touch grass. You show up, put your phone down, and share real time with real people. The board is the world. The rules are agreed upon. The stakes are low. And for a few precious hours, you belong.
Meanwhile, loneliness is being called an epidemic. People are craving more than pixels and pings. Board games offer something rare: unfiltered, face-to-face interaction. You learn about people. You read micro-reactions. You feel the room shift when someone makes a bold move. You connect.
So if you’re tired of doomscrolling and DMs that go nowhere, maybe it’s time to pull out a board, gather a few friends (or soon-to-be-friends), and play your way back to what we’ve been missing.
