Gaming has grown considerably over the past decades. Games are now ubiquitous, easily accessible and readily available. Counterintuitively, the rise of the video game industry has arguably strengthened the appeal of board games. Due to the prevalence of video games, more people than ever are familiar with the concept of playing games. Online video games typically allow for player cooperation via the internet. One factor for the growth in board games is that they provide direct interaction with people, something video games appear to be moving away from. Spearheading the rise of board games are Eurogames – games that emphasise economic themes, reduce chance, and are designed to keep all players involved until it ends.
