Let's talk about board games

Sorry for the delay on the blog the website shut us down but they couldn't keep us down. In honor of our game night we are going to talk about the history of board games. Would anyone of guessed that board games have been around for 5000 years. Which would make them pre historic which is pretty crazy to think. Board games have been around since before language was written down. One of the first games that were created where dice which are used in most games these days. In the same area that board games where created beer was also. The dice looked different then what we are used to now.  They where painted wood, bone, or stones that were painted on one side. Board games were leisure time for the pharaohs of ancient Egypt. Board games have been historically geared for adult and weren't geared for children until 500 BCE. The first game that was for children was hop-scotch.  If we wanted to go more modern the game monopoly was invented in 1935.  Hopefully we will see you guys at game night and don't forget to bring your favorite game to play.
