Going Cardboard

This blog is about a documentary show i watched called going cardboard in this film it looks at the growing population people who not only play boardgames but the amount of diffrent people that design boardgames in todays world.

 

The documentary looks at the amount of growing community of fans and designers in the boardgames industry. The people shown in the documentary are clearly very passionate about all things boardgames

 

It is hard to to tell from just the documentary how big the community really is and to what extent the board game community continues to grow at. these alluring fans meet in Germany for the worlds game convention which is a credit to how big the community has become.

It is astonishing to see the amount of boardgames some people in the documentary have to their name some people have boardgames in the 100s that they own. It is also a great eye opener into the amount of board games that are actually made in the modern world especially with computer games dominating the games industry in today's  modern world.

 

I also noticed the ages of most of the people who are great fans of boardgames these people typically elder men and woman, this backed up games Britannia theory that as people get older the need to play more games that involves social interaction becomes greater than that of any other typical form of gaming.
