Board and card games have been around for millennia and were created by various cultures throughout history. Today, there are thousands of different games that can be played, ranging from quick one player card games to intensive multi-player role playing games. Games can build stronger connections between individuals and groups, reinforce social and life skills, and support student learning and well-being.

To introduce and celebrate Auraria Library's new Game Collection, we are highlighting resources about the history, design, teaching, industry, and use of games. Use these books and websites to learn how to use role-playing games in your classroom, how to get your board game published, and about the privilege of playing games. Then check out Auraria Library's Game Collection, a collection of almost 100 board, card, and tabletop role-playing games.
