Board and card games are tabletop games that involve strategy, luck, or a mix of both, played using a board, cards, or both. Board games, like Chess, Monopoly, and Scrabble, typically use a playing surface with pieces or tokens, while card games, such as Uno, Poker, and Rummy, rely on decks of cards with unique rules. Some games, like The Game of Life or Clue, blend both elements. These games can be competitive or cooperative, requiring players to strategize, make decisions, or rely on chance. They provide entertainment, social interaction, and cognitive challenges for players of all ages!
