The classic indoor games for the home are chess, backgammon, draughts, cards and dominoes, plus jigsaw puzzles, games that need only a table and a little time; a good chess set is the natural start. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep indoor games chosen to sit out on show.
Which indoor games are worth leaving out on the table?
The indoor games worth leaving out are the classics that look like objects, a chess or backgammon board or a stacked poker case, so each doubles as a shelf piece; a backgammon set suits a side table. Choose the ones you will actually sit down and play.
How do indoor games work as screen-free evenings?
Indoor games turn an evening screen-free by giving everyone a reason to gather at one table, a board or a hand of cards passing the time without a device, kept in the wider games spot. Leaving a set out on the table lowers the bar to actually starting a round.
Which indoor games suit gifting?
For gifting, indoor games work well when they offer familiar play and come in an attractive format, whether a wooden or hide-cased set for regular play; a leather chess set makes a fine present. Pick a classic design that suits the recipient and the way they like to play.
