People have been playing games since ancient history, and board games are no exception. Although we do still play a few of the ancient games (Go and Backgammon, for example, are both super old – to the tune of two thousand years or so), most of the board games available today and new, fresh, fun, and highly entertaining. In Australia, people love board games; Sydney and Brisbane are home to many great toy stores, and buying board games online is hugely popular as well.

 

With the busy schedule most people keep these days, board games can be a wonderful way to slow down, relax, and enjoy your family or friends. Laugh together, get serious about competing, or use the game as a “background” while you catch up on your chatting. There are games for all ages and skill levels, as well as specialised games for fans of certain movies or TV shows. And there are different types of games to choose from: besides classic roll-and-move games, there are also simulation games like Monopoly (with new, updated versions available), strategy games like chess (with a set to match every style and budget), and party or family games, such as Taboo (get ready to laugh – hard).

 

Board games can be fun and educational for your preschool children. Start with age-appropriate games like Giant Pick-Up Sticks and Play School Dominoes. Puzzles can be lots of fun for kids and make great gifts. If you have older kids, your family will love loud, interactive games like Scene It (look for different varieties such as “Twilight” or “Comedy Movies”). Or try one of the great new versions of Monopoly or Scrabble. Party games like Cranium, Compatibility, Pictionary, or Balderdash assure you repeated evenings or rainy afternoons of uproarious fun. Twister is still a go-to classic for the adventurous. And for something different that will challenge your motor skills and speed of thought processing in a hilarious way, try Bop It. Visit Mr Toys to find board games in Brisbane or Sydney for instant access to all of these titles, or visit the site to buy board games online.

Many people are frustrated with traffic, crowds, or store hours that aren’t compatible with their schedules. Shop when it’s convenient for you, without worrying about crowds or traffic or what time the store closes. Save time and, often, money by buying board games online.
