One will be wasting his or her energy if one starts to argue that technology has not changed how the human race spends its time by leaps and bounds. Not only has tech made a huge impact on fields that are essential for humankind, such as health and food, but it has also made a large impact on fields that are less essential but still make the lives of humans better. One of these fields is the world of recreation.
When it comes to technology impacting the field of entertainment, the first phenomenon that comes to mind is that of video gaming. According to numbers in 2020 released by the famous statistics business that has been reporting important statistics for the past decade and a half – Statista, there are almost three billion people who play games on Planet Earth. This number can be expected to have risen over the past two years as people have been restricted to their houses and technology has become more accessible to them.
One game that has gained popularity over the years, is scrabble. Scrabble is a word game which was invented in 1931 by Alfred Mosher Butts. It has become one of the most popular games in the world, with an estimated 500 million people playing worldwide. Many people have difficulties with the letter W – mot avec w while playing Scrabble. There are many online guides to help you out, if you are struggling.
There are many kinds of video games. Firstly, there are those that like to play strategy games such as the Age of Empires series and the Warcraft series. On the flip side, there are some others that like to play third-person as well as first-person shooter games, such as Apex Legends and Valorant. Yet another section of the population fulfills their craving for board games by playing them online with people sitting far away instead of the table they are themselves sitting on. In the case that you are one of the people we mentioned last and are a big fan of board gaming on computers, you have come to the perfect place!
We say this with so much confidence knowing that we will be talking about the different board games that can be played on computers. However, first, let us stress something that is very important for playing any video game online, including any board game.
A Significant Side Note
No matter whether you play shooter games or board games, in the case that you do not have top-notch internet, the fun of gaming will not be there. Imagine that you are playing Monopoly with your friends. When it is your turn, your internet lags, making you miss your turn. This situation will be frustrating not only to you but also to your friends. If you do not already have a top-notch connection, we would recommend you start subscribing to one of the Xfinity internet plans. This is because Xfinity leaves no stone unturned when it comes to providing you with a steady connection.
Monopoly
Let us first start with arguably the most liked board game in the world – Monopoly. Sites like Rento allow six players to play against one another. Players can download the game on all kinds of devices, ranging from gaming consoles to smartphones. Alongside, if you are too bored with playing on the same board and the same pawn, the good news is that you can choose different boards and different pawns each time you play. How awesome is that?!
Scrabble
Scrabble can be played free on the web. The best part is that the crossword game is so easy to learn that you can invite any of your friends to play Scrabble no matter they have played it before or not.
A website we really like to play Scrabble on is Pogo. Even though Pogo is free, it has nowhere near as many ads as other free board gaming sites have. Trust us when we say that the dearth of advertisements allows for a much better playing experience.
Cards Against Humanity
In the case that you are an adult and in the mood for a more adult-type board game, Cards against Humanity is a great choice. Unlike other board games, the joy does not come from the thrill of getting lucky through a good dice roll, but the joy comes from the humor involved.
In the case that you fall in love with Cards against Humanity so much that you want to start playing it with your kids, you can also play a family-friendly version of Cards against Humanity online. In this version, all the “bad” cards are eliminated.
Wrapping Up
Choose whichever board game you most like and start playing!
