If you had a childhood similar to mine, board games were a huge part of a growing up. Now that you’re in college you may think you’ve outgrown them, but board games are still relevant. Much like college courses, they allow us to practice specific skills. The variety of board games available makes it possible to find one for any major.
English Majors: Scrabble
“I play ‘Pizazz’ for 45 points.”“Job well done! You’ve proven to be very verbose.”
Business Majors: Monopoly
“Okay team, before we start, let’s set up a business model and discuss the best strategy.”
Art Majors: Pictionary
“I brought my acrylic set. Go big or go home.”
Theater Majors: Scene It.
“One day, people will be answering trivia questions about us!”
History Majors: Trivial Pursuit

Happy gaming everyone!
