To prove it, we\u2019ve compiled the ultimate list of why board games are better than video games. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1) Avoid Tech Issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/wellplayedasheville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Technology-Issues.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1604\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Technology may have helped <a href=\"https:\/\/wellplayedasheville.com\/blog\/board-games-disrupted-how-new-tech-is-upending-the-gaming-industry\/\">innovate board game<\/a> design, but it also creates huge headaches for video gamers such as constant updates, crashes, lagging, or viruses. A board game will never freeze or need to be rebooted, and you\u2019ll never need to plug it in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Go Green<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/wellplayedasheville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Go-green-2.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1608\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Speaking of plugging it in&#8230;no matter what device you play video games with, you need a source of power. Not only does energy consumption go up in your house, but it also soars in the cloud as huge data centers process all your wins, badges, and achievements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3) Learn Innovative Game Mechanics<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/wellplayedasheville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Game-Mechanics.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1606\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Just because most board games don\u2019t involve advanced technology doesn\u2019t mean they are simple or boring. On the contrary, they demand greater innovation to hold players\u2019 interest, coming packed with unique concepts, art, and gameplay dynamics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">On the other hand, video games tend to focus on improving the quality of graphics and components while the gameplay hardly changes. Think about it&#8230;the main difference between the Playstation One and Playstation Four is the technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4) Polish Your Diplomacy Skills<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"245\" height=\"176\" src=\"https:\/\/wellplayedasheville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Diplomacy.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1607\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Forget about signing up for a debate club or model UN. Anyone can learn the art of persuasion and conflict management through board games. They force players to face challenges head-on, providing opportunities to practice control and communication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Perhaps all politicians should start playing more board games\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5) Stimulate the Mind and Body<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"264\" src=\"https:\/\/wellplayedasheville.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Smarter.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1609\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">Unlike video games, which are linked with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en_us\/article\/9knkm8\/playing-video-games-too-much-might-be-bad-for-your-mental-health\">negative mental health<\/a> outcomes, playing board games can actually be good for your <a href=\"https:\/\/wellplayedasheville.com\/blog\/the-health-benefits-of-board-games-for-kids-and-adults\/\">health<\/a> by helping you develop critical thinking skills, building relationships, and increasing your functional memory.
