Board games engage the brain areas involved in memory formation and complex mental processes, and the development of critical cognitive abilities like decision-making, higher-level strategic thinking, and problem-solving. Winning necessitates planning and perseverance. These skills are acquired in a stress-free, rigorous, but enjoyable setting.
