13 Game Room Essentials to Create the Perfect Nook
As Mahjong and other similar hobbies gain in popularity, this part of the house is becoming the new “It” hangout
Dating back to the late 1800s/early 1900s in the United States, games like Bridge and Mahjong were seen as a sign of the fashionable set, and stereotypically, mainly women. Today, especially after COVID, the pastime of playing games is on the rise. With companies like The Mahjong Line and Oh My Mahjong coming on the scene, the game of Mahjong in particular seems to be growing.
Games are the perfect excuse for spending time together with your family or friends, and what makes them even better is that they offer a mode of communing sans phone. Thus, having a game nook in your living room or an entire room dedicated to this leisurely pursuit is now becoming more and more important. Whether your interests lie in learning the age-old Chinese game, Bridge, Backgammon or even Tic-Tac-Toe, we have curated our favorite finds in the category. These luxurious items will allow you to be the ultimate host for an evening of games at your home. Play well!
