CARD GAMES:
BENEFITS:
Develop skills of awareness and alertness. Increases mentality and IQ level. Help the person to communicate. Most card games require
multiple players, providing a fulcrum for increased social interaction. Players have a chance to interact with each other in an intimate
setting while engaging in a little friendly competition. Successful card games entail a great deal of strategy, as well as skills such as
statistics and probability. Players thus engage their intellect as they seek new methods of winning. Most card games embrace complex
strategies and increasing levels of difficulty. Players can thus engage the game on their own terms while being challenged to learn and
improve as they go on. Card games such as poker require players to read the emotions of their opponents, allowing them to observe
human nature close-up.
