Board games may also keep our brains healthier when we get older.

In 2003, a study published in The New England Journal of Medicine found that older people who played board games or similar activities were less likely to get dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. These are diseases of the brain that affect memory and reasoning. The researchers studied what a group of elderly people did for fun. The ones who played board and card games, did crossword puzzles, read, or wrote for fun were less likely to get dementia.

A French study looked at board game-playing for a longer period of time. They found that board game players were 15 percent less likely to develop dementia than non-gamers.
