I always thought my neck pain was just part of the territory after hours of leaning over complex game boards. A physical therapist friend pointed out my slumped shoulders during a session and suggested specific ergonomic adjustments. Now, I consciously sit upright with my feet flat, and the difference in comfort after long games is night and day. That small change has let me focus more on strategy than on discomfort.
Now we just watch a tutorial. Part of me misses the collective confusion and eventual triumph.
Last month, I convinced my remote team to start a weekly virtual board game session on an online platform. Our CEO decided to drop in last week, and suddenly the casual banter turned into a high-stakes strategy discussion with everyone on their best behavior. Do you find that workplace hierarchies spill over into your gaming sessions too?
