Summary
As the holiday season ends and people return to work, serious board games are emerging as effective tools for professional training. Used in fields like healthcare, finance, and emergency services, these games promote real-time decision-making and skill development. Companies such as Focus Games create specialized board games like BedRace, which helps healthcare students navigate palliative care choices. While some may dismiss games as trivial, they foster collaboration, especially in an era of remote work. Even traditional games like Monopoly, Scrabble, and Catan build critical thinking, vocabulary, and strategic planning—skills valuable in both professional and personal development.
