The best skill, dexterity and reaction games 2023
In reaction, dexterity and skill games, it's not knowledge, luck or strategy that counts, but physical ability: Fingertip feeling, a steady hand or clever use of physics are the main focus here.
The beauty of skill games
Skill games are usually easy to learn, entertaining both to watch and to play, offer the opportunity to develop a real measure of skill, can be played quickly, and have an appeal that appeals to both players and non-players alike.
Skill games sometimes a little more expensive
Skill games are often made of wood and then usually have a very high quality of workmanship (for example, the boards of Crokinole, Klask or Tumblin Dice). But considering the many, many hours that skill games are played, they are very cheap games (measured by the low cost per minute played). So in the long run, skill games are of fantastic value, despite their higher price.
