There’s something about table-top
gaming that transcends age, race, gender, and occupation. I’ve seen
combinations like a mother with her teenage kids paired up with a
college student and a grade-schooler, or an elderly military veteran
playing at the same table with a single lady in her mid-twenties, a
middle-aged engineer, and his teenage son. When everyone is focused
on a common goal within the game, everything else falls away—such
disparate groups as I’ve described often end up performing
amazingly well as a team, overcoming challenges cleverly and
effectively. A fun game can cause people who normally might never
have even talked with each other to suddenly find themselves playing
and laughing together as if they were old friends. Games can truly be
the basis of friendship among people of all types.
