In a world where video games are rivaling Hollywood movies in terms of revenue and a new leap in technology called VR is developing at a rapid pace it’s hard to think there was a time when games did not require a stable power supply. However even in this environment board games and card games are still not only popular but also thriving, but why when there are so many heavily marketed alternatives available. Well for one a quote ‘traditional game’ is such a great form of self-expression. For example many of us hold games nights and the games that are played represent our hobbies and interests. For instance you can have a game of Wiess Schwartz at the Jali Dining Table, which on paper this is a simple 4 player card game. However each set of cards is based upon a different show or video game, which means that you deck can be a completely original creation of your own. Another factor that helps traditional games be so popular is that they are so easy to access. In a world where some new Video Games are costing upwards of £50 not including additional content which in the end may end up costing you more than a Mango Bookcase, it is somewhat refreshing to hop on eBay and buy a special edition of monopoly for about 20 quid if you know where to look. And considering that most games released by major developers today are online multiplayer based it is refreshing to sit around the Mango Coffee Table and interact with people you know and have fun with, with the added bonus of having a Dakota Sideboard with more games that you picked up. Now granted not all ‘traditional games’ are good, if you ever gave me the choice between Ludo and Street Fighter on the PlayStation, then I like many would be shimming over to the Mango TV Unit. However it’s nice to find that gaming in its most pure form is still giving enjoyment to many the world over.
