Incredible article! I would not have expected that a 4 sided was an early die with it so uncommon today. I'm going to introduce my kids to The Royal Game of Ur.

I was distracted by an early sentence. Does the "That’s higher than Google, which sees about 20% growth year over year." lead resonate? Does it help others relate to the growth? I found myself having to restart my enjoyment engine after that line. Did the hook work on you?

What are related term for this pattern, so I can do further reading on it?

Thinking further on this. I'm trying to picture the relative growth between gaming and google and haven't figured out a way to stack Google logos and board games such that I think it would impress. What type of Google growth am I representing? For board games is it revenue?

For my own purposes I'm going to test if I can sketch such a comparison before I use it.

/me well down the rabbit hole



Not sure where they're getting 25-40%. The North American numbers have been closer to 10-15% year-over-year for the past 6 years.

I found this part hard to believe too. After quick googling found this article, though it doesn't state how it came up with these numbers, so I'm still sceptical:
