In a desire to take care of and get children out of screens during these two national confinements, board games have largely won over the French.
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.
Looking at the results of board game sales in recent months, we see that French interest in games that exploded during the first confinement is back to good shape with an increase of 24% over the month of October 2020, compared to the same period in 2019.
