Board games have an ancient tradition, they have indeed been a pastime for a long time; the first mentions of these games date back to 5000 years ago. Board games, Giochi da Tavolo in Italian, are part of a broader category, which identifies any recreational activity that requires the participation of more individuals. Board games, as the name suggests, group together all those activities that require a table to be played. Difficult to define in absolute terms, board games are generally characterized by : A more or less complex rule of the game; A minimum of 2 participants; The need for one or more material supports (game board, counters, pen, dice, cards). The market for board games, against all expectations, is booming, despite the development of countless alternatives based on rapid technological expansion. Board games continue indeed to survive and are actually experiencing a period of growth worldwide (valued at 8.5 billion USD in 2019, they are expected to reach 12 billion USD by 2023) [Arizton]. Board game sales exploded by 11% over 2020 compared to 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the periods of lockdown put in place by the world's governments. People around the globe, having to spend more time at home, started occupying their free time with social board games. The sector is also experiencing a prosperous period in Italy thanks to the many events, fairs and shows such as Play Modena organized in their honor, which increase visibility and help boost innovative offerings.
