In the recent years, it seems as though many gaming companies have been releasing bizarre board games to try and re-attract kids and adults alike to the magical world of board games.
Friday nights used to be about gathering the family around the kitchen table, whipping out a dusty copy of Monopoly and playing board games till the wee hours of the morning. But in the recent years, with the increased use of cellphones, social media and the Internet, it seems like families have less and less time to get together to play a board game.
To revive the old-school board game industry, companies are coming out with more and more bizarre board games in hopes of enticing children to want to sit down and play again. From futuristic 8-bit board games to LED board games, grab your family and sit down to play a nostalgic board game.
