Abstract
Beyond entertainment functions, board games can perform the essential functions of education. There are many games which, in addition to shaping social competences or logical thinking, reasoning and planning, can provide knowledge and expertise to help with natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, earth science). In the learning of these subjects there are many problems associated with understanding the content, often new or abstract, and how it is related to students’ existing knowledge. It is also important to transfer the knowledge about the operation and the principles governing science. A rich pool of titles with various mechanical and difficulty levels allows using the games as a teaching tool in the classroom, and crucially, outside it.References
