The popularity of board games has shot up during the pandemic. Sales of both classic and contemporary tabletop games are soaring. Turns out people are hunkering down at home and playing games as a way to fend off boredom and avoid the depressing news cycle. Itâs harder to dwell on a deadly virus if you are engaged in a lively game of Yahtzee, Scattergories or Taboo.
