With little money to spend on entertainment, families enjoyed new board games such as "Monopoly" and "Scrabble" which were first sold during the 1930s.
Neighbors got together to play card games such as whist, pinochle, canasta and bridge. Because they were an affordable form of entertainment, board games became very popular during the Great Depression. Monopoly, Sorry!, and Scrabble were all invented during this time.
Today Americans can play anyone one of these board games during a game night.
Gin Rummy reached the height of popularity in the 1930s, today we have Uno and many other card games we all enjoy playing, but there are many classic card games.
Many people affected by the economic downturn sought inexpensive ways to pass the time and distract themselves from the challenging circumstances. That is why board games, card games and dice games where so popular during that time period, and that is why having a collection of used board games, dice games, and card games is important in our world today. With so much uncertainty why not start up your Garage Board Game shelves now, and be able to enjoy them as you build up your board game shelf.
Board games are great for family gatherings during the holidays, family and friends birthdays. It is always fun to enjoy board games. Even bad weather days are great enjoying a board game.
If you remember your history... lasting almost 10 years (from late 1929 until about 1939) and affecting nearly every country in the world, it was marked by steep declines in industrial production and in prices (deflation), mass unemployment, banking panics, and sharp increases in rates of poverty and homelessness.
I love playing board games, and this is why I think it is important for more American families to get a board game shelf set up in their households, used board games are very inexpensive to buy, and many people even give away old board games, so why not set up a designated shelving area for various board games and puzzles now.
Being able to entertain yourselves is a huge thing for moral during hard times.
Playing various board games during the great depression helped cure boredom and boost moods. Times in our current world are getting harder with higher inflation each year, and those in office creating harder time on purpose.
In order for your family and your household to thrive and survival in hard times, you will need a strong family, a way for entertainment, along with the necessities of food and shelter. Get your board game shelves set up and built up now while you can,
