The whole purpose of this cabinet is to hold games. A lot of them.
Games are a great way to stretch your brain, interact with others, and a fairly inexpensive way to pass the time. I always tell students that if they want to try to work and have fun playing games is a big help. There is so much to be learned and practiced while playing games. Fairness, taking turns, basic math, budgeting, probability, word sets, word families, spelling, geometry, strategy, following rules, idioms, common phrases, figures of speech, and time with other people that are THINKING.
*Soapbox warning* So many activities that families or groups participate in are really no different than if it was done alone. Movies, video games, even some families doing athletic activities can be done silently and with little to no interaction. Games don't let that happen.
