Not very long ago suggesting to play board games with friends brought to mind horror images of playing Monopoly. But since those days a revolution has taken place; the board game revolution! Playing board games have become an accepted and preferred social past time for people from all walks of life.
Even mainstream media has recognised the popularity of the hobby and often feature board games in prominent television shows. Recently the gang from South Park based the premise of a whole episode (South Park – “Board Girls” – s23e07) around board games and certainly did it justice.
There were so many board game and tabletop references packed into the latest episode “Board Girls”, so we thought it would be fun to list some of the references we spotted either visually or verbally. It’s no secret Matt and Trey are BIG into the hobby, but we often wonder how active they are in the board game community.
