Why offer board games in a company?

Games are more than just fun — they become a tool for the collective.

  • Strengthen team cohesion: playing together develops communication, listening and mutual support.
  • Encourage informal exchanges: games break down silos and facilitate discussions between departments.
  • Stimulate creativity: stepping out of the usual routine generates new ideas.
  • Offer a quality break: a well-chosen playful moment recharges energy and improves the work atmosphere.

By integrating suitable games, you invest in a more collaborative and dynamic environment.

How to offer games in your office?

Simply placing board games on a shelf does not guarantee they will be used. Without guidance, this investment can quickly lose value and gather dust. It’s a bit like leaving a musical instrument in a room without any instructions: the equipment is there, but no one knows how to use it — and it remains unused.

Moreover, in a company, time is precious: employees need to be able to start a game quickly without reading the rulebook for 20 minutes. With our Dabou packs, everything is optimized to make games easy and accessible. Your team has everything they need to start a game quickly and fully enjoy the playful experience without frustration.

Challenges faced by companies

Making board games available to employees may seem simple. I buy the games, put them out and that’s it… but several obstacles often appear (don’t worry — we have the solution below):

  • Rules explanation and facilitation: you may not always have someone to explain the rules and guide players. Ideally, there should be an autonomous solution so players can learn the rules via video.
  • Language accessibility: it is not always easy to find games playable in French, Dutch, and English for all your employees. Buying games in each language can also quickly become expensive and take up too much space.
  • Incomplete or fragile games: people are not always careful. Once pieces are missing or damaged, games can quickly become unusable. Ideally, you need games where a missing piece is not a major issue.
  • Selection, purchasing, and preparation: choosing the right games, buying them, unpacking them and making them immediately ready to play requires time and organization. The ideal solution is everything delivered ready-to-use without spending hours sorting or preparing games for your employees.

With Dabou, all these problems are solved: our board game packs are multilingual, ready-to-use and delivered with everything your team needs to play quickly and easily.
