One of the great aspects of board game design is that it places people around a table setting where they are facing one another. This makes most board games a sociable experience that can be enjoyed with family and friends. Since there is usually an element of chance that comes into the gameplay, newcomers and less tactically skilled players will always have a chance of winning. This is in contrast to physical games, for example, where stronger and more skilled players usually win. As such, everyone in a family can play with a more or less equal chance of winning.
