Russia Goes on a Gaming Spree

Subscribe
Over the past three years, board games have been experiencing a sort of Renaissance in Russia. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, many original games were produced in the country, but the market shrunk under the onslaught of computer games and stayed dormant for more than ten years. Today, with thousands of people searching for ways to escape the increased isolation of the cyber era and with growing disposable incomes to be spent on entertainment, the market is coming out of hibernation. The popularity of board games and public gaming sessions is skyrocketing.
