"What if the secret to raising smart, resilient kids was hiding in your game closet all along?"
In this fun, fast-paced guide, author Mohan Krishnamurthy reveals how classic board games—from Chess to Catan—aren't just entertainment, but stealthy teachers of:
•Critical Thinking (Outplan your opponent in Risk)
•Creativity (Turn vague clues into Dixit masterpieces)
•Negotiation (Trade sheep like a Catan pro)
•Resilience (Bounce back from Pandemic outbreaks)
Perfect for ages 10-15, this book blends:
•Easy-to-learn rules for each game
•Real-world skills linked to gameplay (e.g., Scrabble = vocabulary + math)
•Humorous stories and pro tips (Why never trust the "friendly" Monopoly player)
•Actionable challenges ("Try sacrificing a chess piece—what did you learn?")
Parents & teachers love it because:
• Reduces screen time with brain-boosting fun
•Sparks family bonding over laugh-out-loud gameplay
•Prepares kids for future careers (Yes, Azul tiles teach geometry!)
Kids love it because:
•No boring lectures—just strategies to crush siblings (fairly!)
•Surprising "Did You Know?" trivia (The longest Ticket to Ride game lasted 10 hours!)
•Cartoon-style illustrations that make learning invisible
"More than a game guide—it's a life hack disguised as fun." — Prashanth Gudibande
