Board games is a luxury to talk about board board is not unfamiliar, many people do not know what the game is now popular, but the mention of the famous "strong", any 70 generation, almost no one knows. "Strong" can be regarded as the earliest board game. 80 's can not play a lot of things, this game so many families a more enjoyable game, and "strong" but the first real estate game.　　Now the real estate tycoons, do not know whether it is because of the game to embark on the road to success. It is said that the birthplace of board games is in Germany, where many cafes and bars are equipped with different board games for guests. Most of the guests come to the family and enjoy a happy family time after dinner.　　This kind of game pattern spreads quickly, not long has swept Europe and America area.

Now the most popular "Farmer" (ranked first in BGG). Board game Price of 490 yuan, if the purchase on Taobao can also be cheap to 380 yuan. Of course this is a single game, if you add can expand the part, then it is not impossible to spend thousands of dollars. This one of the most burning money to calculate the type of flag, although in the category of board games, but is independent out, it is expensive even the players themselves can not see!

Board games require at least 3 people to participate, the more people, the more interesting the game, but it seems to be a sudden gathering of seven or eight people seems not so easy. With people, there will be time. 6 people together to play a game of three kill, master together to play four or five hours alone.　　It's not that easy to enjoy the pleasure of board games. The Little board game Change Lifestyle Board began to be recognized by people in 2007, but it belongs to the minority group.　　Now we know more people, but not popular. "In China, there are not many people who are expected to play this game," he said. "Mr. Sun, who has been in many fields, is interested in board games, but not in terms of business value," he said. Mr. Sun has been planning to introduce a Japanese board game in about 2005 years. At that time, no one knew.The concept of "board game". He now sees a game called Master on the American website, and then begins to investigate and find out that there is a video game from Japan, and then there are cartoons, he thought that there should be a market, the result did not think, in doing market research when found to do this business is too difficult. "Now the board of Games people think that in the 2007 the domestic only began to play board games, in fact, in 2005 has been a lot of people playing, I would like to introduce a genuine master, did not expect to see in Hongqiao, piracy has been rampant." "Mr. Sun has always thought he has a good eye, from a company's office director to do the performance, and ultimately to do real estate, rely on the eye." Did not expect to see Board board went to the eye, eventually he thought it was because he too like to play, so instead of a simple business vision.　　But watching friends on Taobao sell board games per month more then 10,000, less four thousand or five thousand, he still think in Taobao on the small can also, not as the company's business. Although not a business, Mr Sun's love for board games is as usual. What makes him happy is that there are such a group of friends around, every weekend, and then pour the tea poured water, eat snacks, sometimes play lively, shouting non-stop;　　It seems that the carefree time of childhood came back quietly. Board game is very warm. Mr. Sun is a very sensible player, and for him the board is a way of contacting friends, so he never chooses a strategy game with foresight, and the battle banner is shielded by him, and only the easy and understandable fun games are his favorites.　　He said the game is a game after all, he is no longer the age of college students, to find a lot of people, lively game everyone to enjoy, do not charge the best brain. "Isn't it enough to go to work every day?" Also not afraid of other people jokes, "Mr Sun pointed to a" beautiful goat "board game told reporters:" For our group of friends, the more retarded games better. " "Indeed, board games are a different genre than a video game," he said. There are also a variety of classifications: according to the number of people, age classification, game time, the complexity of the rules and so on. Like the player known as "World of Warcraft", "StarCraft", there is a corresponding board version.　　Choose games for different preferences, as the slogan says, "There's always one for you." Originally in a well-known IT company as the personnel director of Mr. Li Jiliuyongtui, after having a child is quitting home to do full-time dad. This Li Dad fun, home game machine from the first red and white machine began to the current Wii, everything is complete, the palm of the game from Nintendo to PSP, a lot. After having a child, the greatest pleasure is to be in a simulated world with a child. The playful character made him the first to touch the board, and the result was a game of games for the family. Not only their own hobbies, but also better-without, no matter who gets home, have to free training a game board.　　Even when traveling with friends, the backpack is naturally a variety of board games. Why is board games so appealing?　　Mr. Li said well: "Play is not a game, is the exchange." "In fact, look back to our pastime: early in the things less, nothing but family, friends to play a poker, the next chess, elders people together to play a mahjong." Then the era of development, science and technology developed, poker, chess also tired of playing, players have a fancy to the more glamorous video games. Fast development of electronic games, from stand-alone, two people to the local area network to fight, and then to the Internet to fight, and finally developed to the voice battle.　　But even if the development, but also the big living to the cold computer, one day will be tired. Li Dad quit his job, full-time with the child although very happy, but obviously with the society far away, although a lot of information can be learned from the network, but there is a feeling of exile, gradually become "otaku."　　But since the game, he began to make a lot of new friends, for the love of board games, while educating children at the same time in the network opened a game shop, now the business is booming, the capital of several board games are to his purchase, and occasionally ask him to do training in the shop. "More friends." Originally I also do not belong to ' otaku ' type, just because at home with less contact with society, sooner or later will become very ' curtilage ', but board game can be said to give me an environment, let me back to social circle. "Indeed, people are still gregarious animals," he said. Whether the audio or video is just on the computer, even if it is playing games, to find a friend face-to-face fight some, always more tender than the machine.
