CMON Feature Friday: First Date Games

Relationships can be tricky. They’re a fine balance between wanting to do everything together and having your own personal interests. Board games can be an excellent way for a couple to spend time together. However, they do carry with them the burden of competition. It can be a strain on any relationship to be fighting over resources, turn order, and points, even if it’s all in good fun. First dates are different than relationships. Everyone is putting their best foot forward and trying to impress. Sure, you could go to a movie or dinner, but playing games can be an excellent first date activity. It immediately creates a focus to your energies and can take off a lot of the pressure of making conversation.  

For this week’s CMON Feature Friday, we decided to take a look at some of the benefits to gaming on dates and some games that work well one-on-one.
