From snakes and ladders to monopoly, lagoori to hopscotch, Tetris to Age of Empires, games have brought excitement and joy to everyone, old and young. There are games that have been inspired from movies and epic books.A game can be made from anything but it is important to keep the players engaged and shape the game’s rules to keep it interesting. In our childhood, we’ve also tweaked existing games, or designed new ones. Remember book cricket? Games have come a long way in the last few years, some of which are now made to understand human behaviour and also help individuals with brain related disabilities.
