Top 10 Board Games Rules You Probably Didn’t Know

(via Listverse) For centuries, board games have been a way for people to pass the time, compete, and build memorable moments in their lifetimes. From throwing dice to moving tokens, the simple moves in board games usually wash our memories in nostalgia from just the mention of them. We all have our favorites, games that we’ve played for years. So often, we haven’t looked at the instructions in eons…and that may have been a mistake.
