Benefits of Social Games

Playing card & board games is something most of us did as children.  Sat round the table, chatting and laughing, it brings a feeling of cosiness and belonging.  But over the years with the introduction of technology, phones and the social media our interactions have evolved to more distant way of interacting. On site we really see the benefits of face to face ‘playing’  Whether it’s one of our activities, such as the Axe Throwing, Forest Crafting or a simple game with family and friends, there is a warmth exuded that draws other in.  The benefits of these types of activities are well documented.  So why not brush off those games and organise a cosy, games night?
