What is the role of board games in today's digital era? How do board games affect players in refining the three basic skills which are very much needed in responding to everyday life: problem solving, critical thinking, decision making?
On Instagram Live, Eko Nugroho game designer, game-based learning expert & CEO Kummara describes the board game approach as a learning medium as well as a trigger to improve three basic personal abilities that players can have.
