What activity has been most useful to you in these confined times? Board games have played an essential role in the daily life of many families, helping to maintain socialization and be entertained. They also caused some arguments between the children, but it is clear that they are a real tool for their general development. As the games progress, they learn to listen to others, to play by the rules, to be patient, as well as to concentrate and manage their emotions.
JouéClub, a must-have in the toy market, recently took stock of board game sales for the past few months, and the numbers speak for themselves. Unsurprisingly, French interest in the games exploded during the first lockdown. At the start of the Christmas season, we observe an increase of 24% in the month of October 2020, compared to the same period in 2019. The board games market is nevertheless a dynamic sector, which has + 14% in value.
