Classic Board Games: Still One of the Best Ways to Pass Time

This game isn’t as old as the others, but it’s a wonderful test for the older crowd. There are various versions of Trivial Pursuit, and each one can provide hours upon hours of challenge and escape. Trivial Pursuit can also lead to stirring conversations as players discuss questions and answers, and the memories they evoke. Not only that, there’s no better game on earth for dazzling friends with your knowledge!

If you’ve never learned to play chess, why not learn now? People around the world swear by this game—and a few swear at it when a chess game doesn’t go their way. I started playing chess with my children when they turned about five, and it’s made for countless hours of fun and brain-building. It’s easy to build your skill level by practicing online. If you play chess with your grandkids, you’ll probably have the upper hand at first, but chances are they’ll start winning at least on occasion before long. But do you know what? You won’t be the slightest bit embarrassed when it happens. Instead, you’re likely to be just about the proudest grandparent on earth.

Scrabble is ideal for players of all levels. This is the perfect game for grandkids from about the first grade up—and even better for a foursome of friends with a few hours to spare. Brush up on those “q” and “z” words and you’ll be ready to go at it!

This is the gold standard of American board games. It’s everyone’s chance to be Donald Trump … well, except for the hair. Monopoly is a game that never gets old. It crosses generations and provides all the fun and competition you could want in a game. If you play with young grandchildren, you may find yourself taking it easy on them at first–but that’s not likely to last long!

Board games can provide hours upon hours of old-time fun, but you don’t want to play around when it comes to your healthcare. Contact MedicareMall to learn how Medicare supplement insurance and Medicare Advantage can keep you protected in ways Original Medicare can’t.
