REVIVE THE NIGHT
TIME TO REFRESH AND MODERNISE GAMING NIGHTS.
NETFLIX HAS BEEN ONE CONSTANT BINGE FOR NEARLY A YEAR, TV ISN’T AS EXCITING AS IT WAS AND EVEN FOR SPORTS FANS, THE CONSTANT FOOTBALL COVERAGE IS EASY TO SWITCH OFF. THERE ARE NO NEW HOLLYWOOD RELEASES TO LOOK FORWARD TO OR EXCITE. IT SEEMS WE HAVE TV BURNOUT, FROM WHAT WAS EASY A YEAR AGO TO GET A BREAK FROM OUR HECTIC LIVES AND KICK BACK, RELAX AND WATCH TV, NOW IT SEEMS ALL TOO FAMILIAR AND BORING.
BOARD GAMES ARE DURING A REVIVAL, IN JUST THE FIRST WEEK OF LOCKDOWN IN 2020 SALES INCREASE BY 240% AND HAVE CONTINUED EVER SINCE. RELAXING AT HOME WAS FUN FOR A WHILE BUT ULTIMATELY OUR BRAINS NEED STIMULATION AND TV JUST DOESN’T CUT IT. GINGER FOX ARE MASTERS IN CREATING COMPELLING GAMES FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY TO ENJOY AT HOME. THEIR GAMES ARE POPULAR AND GUARANTEED TO MAKE EVENINGS FUN
