Why Play Games?

Why do we believe that 'any time spent playing games is time well spent'? In today's world, there are many ways to spend our time. The benefits to spending it playing games are abundant. Here are a few:

• Time with family
• Time with friends
• Economical (a few games on your shelf can provide a lifetime of playing)
• Develops strategy and thinking skills
• Great party activity
• Something to do on a rainy day
• Anyone can participate
• Teaches kids (and adults!) valuable lessons like:
  • how to win or lose gracefully
  • patience
  • critical thinking
  • creativity
  • academic skills (reading, math, geography)
  • planning/anticipating
  • making choices
• Fun! Fun! Fun!

With so many games available, for all ages and interests, we hope that more and more people will "get hooked" on this favorite pastime. We can personally attest to the above list of benefits. We see it in action during our family nights when we play games with our 3 kids... We see it in action during our game parties, when dozens of friends show up to participate... date night...vacations...visits from grandparents...when the kids are bored (never happens in our house!)...Any time is a good time for playing games.

This was written by the owners of Time Well Spent my favorite online source for board games and it is a family owned business. They have the best prices and customer service is superb. Check out what they have to offer. Over a thousand games, most which you have never heard of, and toys R us doesn't carry. Dave will also give personal recommendations if you give him some idea of who will be playnig the game.

What better way to spend the afternoon than playing  games with the family this Christmas Holiday.
