These games include Scattegories, Taboo, Trivial Pursuit, Operation, Rumikube, Cranium, Yhatzee, and Giant Jenga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The board game Olympics is not a serious game like the real Olympics but is only an event where board game lovers can gather, test their skills and have fun. The winners are given medals and prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marcel-ardivan-VKKwYp0GYMI-unsplash-2-min-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marcel-ardivan-VKKwYp0GYMI-unsplash-2-min-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marcel-ardivan-VKKwYp0GYMI-unsplash-2-min-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marcel-ardivan-VKKwYp0GYMI-unsplash-2-min-768x1151.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marcel-ardivan-VKKwYp0GYMI-unsplash-2-min-1025x1536.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marcel-ardivan-VKKwYp0GYMI-unsplash-2-min-1367x2048.jpg 1367w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/marcel-ardivan-VKKwYp0GYMI-unsplash-2-min-scaled.jpg 1708w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>And are you now wondering how and where the board game Olympics began or who organized it? The board game Olympics can be organized by any association, federation, team or individual who thinks they are professionals at board games. They can even create sped-up and more deathly versions of the classic games and look for sponsors to award winners. After all, board games are all about having fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>In the board games, it\u2019s just friends and neighbors competing against each other. There are no flags, countries or nationalities involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Often, you will have to pay a small amount to join these games. And the money you pay will be used to sponsor the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"884\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezequiel-garrido-5clsQK_QJgo-unsplash-min-884x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezequiel-garrido-5clsQK_QJgo-unsplash-min-884x1024.jpg 884w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezequiel-garrido-5clsQK_QJgo-unsplash-min-259x300.jpg 259w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezequiel-garrido-5clsQK_QJgo-unsplash-min-768x889.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezequiel-garrido-5clsQK_QJgo-unsplash-min-1327x1536.jpg 1327w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezequiel-garrido-5clsQK_QJgo-unsplash-min-1769x2048.jpg 1769w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 884px) 100vw, 884px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Some board game retailers and manufacturers too may sponsor or organize events like this and award board games or board game subscriptions as prizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"The_Board_Game_Olympics_Should_Really_Begin\">The Board Game Olympics Should Really Begin<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The idea of board game Olympics is fun for board game lovers and novices too. The winner can be awarded the \u2018Best Board Gamer\u2019 award. It can be organized by anyone who thinks they are professional at classic board games. You only have to look for people to make up your teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>I hardly ever doubt board games will be a part of the Olympics. There has been a campaign for many years to make chess a part of the Olympics, but it has all been in vain. Chess has been recognized as a sport, but it is not a sport that requires the same physical exertion and stamina required in other outdoor games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christopher-paul-high-y7Qq9IrgpOA-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christopher-paul-high-y7Qq9IrgpOA-unsplash-min-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christopher-paul-high-y7Qq9IrgpOA-unsplash-min-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christopher-paul-high-y7Qq9IrgpOA-unsplash-min-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christopher-paul-high-y7Qq9IrgpOA-unsplash-min-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christopher-paul-high-y7Qq9IrgpOA-unsplash-min-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/christopher-paul-high-y7Qq9IrgpOA-unsplash-min-770x515.jpg 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>But over time, if board games become increasingly popular, there is a chance that there will be professional board game tournaments held so that favorite and classic <a href=\"https:\/\/boardplaying.com\/azul-strategy-board-games-the-best-tips-to-win\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">board games <\/a>will be played. Board game lovers will have a chance to compete and test their gaming skills. But it would also mean that people will take up board game playing much more seriously, and it will no longer be the means to have a light-hearted game and relax with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>What do you think?
