Staying in is the new going out. As celebs such as Nicole Kidman switch from preening in front of the mirror to games to sharpen their wits,we decided to check what is in store for us back home. Student and game aficionado Harman Thind has stocked up on enough games to bide him through the seasons. Ive been a fan of board games since I was five years old and still play every weekend with my family, Harman tells us he has a 15-year-old monopoly set,the latest version of Jenga (in which you have to pile sticks one on top of the other) and Super Boggle amongst others. Bought most of them from Budhiraja,Sector 17. But you could go to any good game store and buy them, says Harman,who keeps up to date with the latest,while there are others who still prefer the old favourites. Ragini,whos working with Hamari Kaksha,an NGO,is an avid fan of Pictionary and Scrabble. I am awful at drawing but my guessing prowess makes me a good team member. These games are a staple at all get togethers and are loads of fun, she says,and rightfully so. For researches have proved that word games help improve ones vocabulary,expressiveness and memory,thus improving communicative skills and even preventing mental problems later on in life.
Nina,a student of Vivek High School,too has been keeping track of the state of art versions of classic board games. She boasts of a rather large collection of them including the Credit Card Monopoly,World Monopoly,a battery operated Cluedo and Tarzan Jenga. My sister and I just keep getting the latest versions. While,I also have the old games like Life,we hardly ever play them, she tells us.
