Embracing board games as a winning strategy for digital detox
"standard table top games, games that have been handmade by people that you won't find anywhere else. We have RPG's, what they call role-playing games, where you're playing the game and play various different adventures."
"each player plays as a different flower and they compete with each other to take over the garden,"
"what was really important to us while making it is how it feels in your hands. It's a very special feeling to have something that's satisfying to hold and satisfying to play, satisfying to interact with."
"There's something really special that we grew up doing and love to still do. Playing with physical pieces that are in front of you, that I don't think you can experience the same way through a screen."
Thousands of tabletop enthusiasts gather at the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City for the Long Island Tabletop Gaming Expo. The event features board, card, dice, miniature war and role-playing games alongside handmade creations and classics like chess and checkers. Local creators such as the Giordano brothers exhibit and sell handcrafted games, combining engineering, design, and game design skills. Their game Growth casts players as different flowers competing to take over a garden. Exhibitors and players emphasize the tactile, satisfying physical interaction that distinguishes tabletop play from digital gaming.
