The singer-songwriter Tontxu, in his\u00a01997\u00a0song\u00a0Risk<\/a><\/em>\u00a0, said:<\/p>\n

\u201c\u00a0A game of Risk, a Trivial, a Parcheesi.\u00a0Lots of questions about you.\u00a0Mix your chips with mine.\u00a0Under the table, you cheat your caresses.\u00a0<\/em>“<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Almost 25 years later, not only do I continue to meet with my people whenever I can to “play a little game”, but I have also begun to incorporate board games into my university teaching.<\/p>\n

Educational potential<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I dare to say that practically\u00a0all board games are educational<\/a>\u00a0, regardless of the age of the players, since they stimulate,\u00a0among other things<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0reading comprehension<\/a>\u00a0, writing, mental calculation, strategy or creativity.\u00a0In addition, there are many themed games that, if designed rigorously enough, promote learning about a specific topic.<\/p>\n

Aware of the educational potential of these thematic games, in recent years I have started to use them as teaching tools at the University.\u00a0In this context, in the same way that I recommend bibliography, in the form of textbooks, documentaries, articles and essays on chemical and environmental science and technology, I have incorporated into my list of recommendations some games that, in my opinion, provide content complementary to the training of students in chemistry and chemical engineering.<\/p>\n

For example, I often recommend the\u00a0Periodic<\/em><\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0Ion<\/em><\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0Covalence,<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Subactomic<\/em><\/a>\u00a0mini-games to first-year students\u00a0, which\u00a0gamify<\/em><\/a>\u00a0fundamental chemistry concepts such as formulation and the periodic table of elements.\u00a0I usually also mention the version of\u00a0Timeline<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0Science and Discovery<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, which is the temporary location of the most important scientific events.<\/p>\n

In courses on sustainability, I always take the opportunity to recommend the\u00a0CO\u2082 Second Chance<\/em><\/a>\u00a0game\u00a0, an essential complement for future green chemists and engineers.\u00a0This complex game of strategy is based on infrastructure planning, the purchase of carbon emission rights, participation in climate summits and the achievement of sustainable development goals.\u00a0I also usually include the\u00a0High Voltage<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, on the management of electrical resources and energy sources, the\u00a0Terraforming Mars<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, on the management of multidisciplinary engineering projects, or the ”\u00a0Women in Science<\/a>\u00a0”\u00a0deck\u00a0, designed to display the scientific contribution of women who have unfairly anonymous.<\/p>\n

To master’s students, especially those interested in research, I usually recommend the game\u00a0Alchemists<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, which parodies the profession of researcher in a very funny way.\u00a0Embodying a potion maker, the goal is to conduct experiments, publish theories, attend conferences, and get scholarships to boost your reputation.<\/p>\n

More than 120,000 cataloged games<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In addition to those that Tontxu had, everyone knows a few classics such as chess, dominoes, goose,\u00a0Monopoly<\/em>\u00a0,\u00a0Pictionary<\/em>\u00a0,\u00a0Party<\/em>\u00a0or\u00a0Scattergories<\/em>\u00a0.\u00a0If you are unable to name at least two or three more, I am sorry to say that you are far behind.<\/p>\n

More than 120,000 games are listed on\u00a0the\u00a0BoardGameGeek<\/a>\u00a0website\u00a0, the IMDb for board games.\u00a0The board game market is booming and has a very good\u00a0prognosis<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0Board games are no longer sold only in toy stores, but also in specialized stores, both physical and online.\u00a0In addition, general entertainment product stores have a growing section dedicated to board games.<\/p>\n

Board game designers have also been able to take advantage of the different\u00a0crowdfunding<\/em>\u00a0platforms\u00a0.\u00a0For example, Seville publisher\u00a0ThunderGryph Games<\/a>\u00a0launched in 2021 a campaign for a game based on\u00a0Darwin’s<\/a>\u00a0voyages\u00a0to the Galapagos<\/a>\u00a0, raising 1,100,000 euros from almost 17,000 patrons.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that there are still many people who continue to think that \u201cit’s a geek thing\u201d, the truth is that more and more of us are fans of this hobby, and more and more households that have at least one copy of\u00a0Los colonos de Cat\u00e1n<\/em><\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

As with comics, video games, or fantasy or science fiction novels and films, the stigma of the geek as an\u00a0“obsessed hobbyist”<\/a>\u00a0is fading, as well as bridging the age and gender gaps.<\/p>\n

Screens\u00a0versus<\/em>\u00a0cards, dice and friends!<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We are in a time when\u00a0the video game industry<\/a>\u00a0has become the main entertainment market.\u00a0Despite its\u00a0positive aspects<\/a>\u00a0, there is widespread concern about its abusive use and potential\u00a0addiction<\/a>\u00a0, especially among minors.\u00a0If we add to this the popularity of\u00a0streaming<\/em>\u00a0series platforms\u00a0and telecommuting, at the end of the day we spend more hours than we should in\u00a0front of the screens<\/a>\u00a0of our computers, phones and tablets.<\/p>\n

The board games are made of paper, cardboard, wood, resin, and plastic.\u00a0They represent\u00a0a non-digital leisure alternative<\/a>\u00a0, which can be enjoyed by touch, sight and smell.\u00a0Board game manufacturers are well aware of this, and they are paying more and more care to the\u00a0aesthetics<\/a>\u00a0and quality of the materials, frequently releasing\u00a0deluxe<\/em>\u00a0versions\u00a0of the most popular games.<\/p>\n

Another peculiarity of board games is that they involve two or more people.\u00a0Therefore, they promote a social, face-to-face and communicative leisure environment.\u00a0They can be combined with a dinner or coffee, entertained with music and enjoyed both in the living room and on the terrace.\u00a0But, above all, the most important thing is that we have to enjoy them with friends or family.<\/p>\n

For every taste<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There are\u00a0many types of board games<\/a>\u00a0: card, deck building, question and answer, puzzle, battle, strategy, worker placement, resource management, improv, dungeon exploration, etc.\u00a0The most well-versed classify them into two categories:\u00a0Eurogames<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, usually with a complex strategy and relatively little room for chance;\u00a0and the\u00a0Ameritrash<\/em><\/a>\u00a0, which are usually games very focused on themes such as zombies, science fiction or fantasy.<\/p>\n

Cooperative games<\/a>\u00a0have recently become popular\u00a0, that is, games in which the participants do not compete with each other, but have to join forces to face a common challenge: either everyone wins or everyone loses.\u00a0These games are especially\u00a0suitable for playing with children<\/a>\u00a0or for \u201chooking\u201d friends with little experience.<\/p>\n

He has just finished the course, and it is time to reflect on how the next one is going to be taught.\u00a0Summer is a good time to try a game whose theme is close to our specialty and evaluate its educational potential for our students, our children and our friends, no matter how old they are.<\/p>\n
