"What if the secret to raising smart, resilient kids was hiding in your game closet all along?"

In this fun, fast-paced guide, author Mohan Krishnamurthy reveals how classic board games—from Chess to Catan—aren't just entertainment, but stealthy teachers of:

  • Critical Thinking (Outplan your opponent in Risk)
  • Creativity (Turn vague clues into Dixit masterpieces)
  • Negotiation (Trade sheep like a Catan pro)
  • Resilience (Bounce back from Pandemic outbreaks)
  • Perfect for ages 10-15, this book blends:

  • Easy-to-learn rules for each game
  • Real-world skills linked to gameplay (e.g., Scrabble = vocabulary + math)
  • Humorous stories and pro tips (Why never trust the "friendly" Monopoly player)
  • Actionable challenges ("Try sacrificing a chess piece—what did you learn?")
  • Parents & teachers love it because:

  • Reduces screen time with brain-boosting fun
  • Sparks family bonding over laugh-out-loud gameplay
  • Prepares kids for future careers (Yes, Azul tiles teach geometry!)
  • Kids love it because:

  • No boring lectures—just strategies to crush siblings (fairly!)
  • Surprising "Did You Know?" trivia (The longest Ticket to Ride game lasted 10 hours!)
  • Cartoon-style illustrations that make learning invisible
  • "More than a game guide—it's a life hack disguised as fun." — Prashanth Gudibande
