I’ve been a victim of a trend for the whole week in Vilnius. That was a trend that I like and which tends to be a unique phenomenon. I am talking about games in bars, clubs, and at friends.
I faced that for the first time two years ago in the “Baltic Sound” festival in a tent of the Play club, where a company of dizzy strangers laid pieces of Jenga; as well as on the second day of the wedding of Vika and Julius, where we played Twister, Monopoly, Alias, and some other games instead of old-fashioned alcoholism.
Last week I formed definitions in the “Funky Monkey” club (Alias), built towers in the “Play” club (Jenga), raised beans at Rimas (Bonanza), eat fish sushi (Sushizock im Gockelwok) and built districts (Citadels) at Julius. Every second bar or club offered table football which I don’t like personally, but I support its idea. And the old men pretending artists were playing checkmate at the CAC cafe.
Board games in public spaces are a cool way to start communication with strangers, keep relationship with friends and also that’s a perfect alternative to social alcoholism. We’ll see what games are waiting for me today. Are you playing something today too?
