Board games are having a moment. There is a growing number of board games, and outlets. Ely High Street has a new board games shop called Odyssey Games, which has a good collection of games of different formats. There are also board game cafes where people gather and play games as a collaborative way to spend the evening.
Some games are made available on Kickstarter / crowdfunding sites. One of them is called Gamefound. Retailers such as Zazu Games do a roaring trade in board games.
Some are card based. Others have vast numbers of components and come in very chunky boxes.
My Facebook page currently has regular ads for a new board game called 'Arctica'. It reached its $50 000 goal in just 20 minutes.
It sounds like it might be a useful resource for exploring changing ecosystems in Polar regions - for Natural History but also KS3 geography as well.
Other board games that might be of interest for Natural History / ecosystems include:
- Ecosystem
- Cascadia
- Canopy
- Mycelia
- Wingspan
- Forest Shuffle
- Meadow
- Photosynthesis
- Biome
