It is a proven fact that playing games can lead to skill development. A common assumption regarding games is that they are more suited to children and at most a good use of time until study obligations come knocking for more time.
SHUFFLE believes that the only things standing between adults and tabletop gaming are the prevalent views regarding gaming. Here are ten benefits that are ageless in their development and applications in real life:
Decision Making
You heard that right! Good decision-making can be learnt. Strategic games train you to look for alternative methods to consider moving ahead. Applying the practice in real life can help you be decisive and it is not limited to children, youth or adults.
Digital Detox
Give your eyes a break. Your work may have shifted to the online space, but the tabletop games are still more fun on the table itself, with your friends and family sitting all around it.
Aptitude for Planning
Planning is fun when you have victory on the line. Wanting to win is human, and so is planning for it. Tabletop games train you to anticipate others’ moves so you can plan better.
Social Skills
If COVID has taught us anything, it is the importance of human connection and relationships. We have become closer to our people but also lost touch with the way of the world. Tabletop gaming lets you open up in confidence so your being an introvert does not limit you in any way.
Problem Solving
Stagnancy in life can be very frightening. The same in a game is just a challenge to overcome with the option of always having other chances to try again. Tabletop gaming can train you to remain calm during difficult times and think about efficient solutions to your problems, even if they are unrelated to the games.
Quality time with Family and Friends
All of us complain about not sitting down with our friends and family without the barrier of an electronic gadget. Tabletop gaming can be your bridge instead. Connect with your people over games, laughter, and healthy competition.
Stress Busting
Life can be stressful. We ignore it until it becomes problematic to the extreme. Tabletop Gaming helps us de-stress so we are not weighed down by our problems.
Negotiation Skills
Do we need to say anything else? Negotiate on the table so you better yourself in life.
Discipline
Tabletop gaming teaches you to play with some rules. This practice also lets you create a code for your own life. The simple practices of waiting for turns, Playing by rules and creating a playing round are all part of encouraging a disciplined life.
Information Retention
Ever wonder why it is so easy to remember songs and games over appointment details and study material? It is a psychological thing. The fear of failure is more harmful to memory retention, which is not the case with games. Rather, they help in keeping your memory active and always ready to learn.
