Have You Played Any of These?

Things have grown considerably in the world of paranormal related games since I was a kid. I am not referring to the hundred of video games we all have access to. I am talking about the personal games we can play alone, with relatives or friends in person…all hands on. These games are all paranormal related and are those that are not routinely heard of. Many are for teens, young adults or for the kid in you. We’ve all heard of Candy Man, the Ouija Board and Mary. These are the not so popular ones. If you know about a scary paranormal related game, please leave me the information in the comments section at the end of this article. Thanks.

Here Are A Few To Check Out-If You Dare

• White Kimono

• Six Murders

The detailed instructions can be found here if you are interested in playing any of these games. I’ve reviewed several of them and for the most part, they appear to be best suited for teens and young adults.

History 

Games are a part of all cultures and are one of the oldest forms of human interaction. Common features of all games include:

• competition
• change
• fiction
• goals
• enjoyment
• rules
• unknown outcome
• separate time
• separate place

Games were crucial social and cultural bonding events and also important teaching tools and indicators of social status in many cultures around the world. Games were given as gifts and were common in the court culture with royalty. Historic games such as the Mesoamerican Ball Game and Senet were full of religious and mythic significance. Games such as The Mansion of Happiness and Gyan Chauper taught ethical and spiritual lessons. Weigi and Shatranje were games that developed mental skills and strategic thinking used by the military and those involved in politics.
