Board Games, Billiard Supplies, and Family Games
Welcome to gameden.net, your source for all things gaming. We’re passionate about games, and that’s why we are dedicated to bringing you nothing but the best information on what games are available. Whether you’re into board games or billiards supplies, we’ve got what you need to know right here. We try to give you the facts without the high pressured sales environment. So here you’ll find an objective discussion of products without a bias towards one or the other. It’s hard to take a game manufacturer seriously when they give Monopoly and chess equal treatment. Monopoly’s old for a board game, but it hasn’t even hit is century mark.
Monopoly has quite an entertaining recorded history however. It’s currently cited as the only board game that was used in an effort to free POWs, among other amazing feats it has accomplished. Most of those feats involve world records for longest board game. Chess has built in time limits to prevent chess games from creating those types of records, although it is one of the oldest board games around.
Billiards and pool, use similar supplies. Billiards is a game played with 9 balls, and both sides attempt to play the same set of balls. Pool is played with 16 balls, with each side playing eight of those balls. The rules for billiards are more stringent than the rules for pool, although many people add house rules to pool games. The supplies section of the game really falls down to cues and chalk. You won’t go through sets of pool balls, and you hope that you won’t go through sets of cues either. But a cue stick is a lot easier to break than a ball.
There are other types of game room games as well. A game room is essentially a bar’s gaming area transported into your home. In a game room, you would find things like pool tables, air hockey tables, pinball machines, dart boards, and a jukebox. It’s a little game haven in the home, and it can be a source of great pleasure for home owners.
But board games are much simpler to put in your home than a game room. For starters, you won’t need to dedicate a room to board games, more like a shelf in your closet. For another, the monetary investment on board games is significantly less than on say… a pool table. You could probably pick up around 100 high quality board games for what you’d shell out for a pool table. And while few, if any of the board games will come complete with solid oak construction, we think the endless hours of fun will probably make that ok.Granted, even family games don’t make a décor statement the way a pool table does, but you don’t need them to. The primary purpose of family games is to have fun together, and you don’t need to look like a page out of a furniture catalogue to do that by anyone’s measure. Besides, in this economy it’s better to feel like a million bucks than look like it.
