Everything you need to know about design games - FAQ
What are design games?
Design games combine the enjoyment of playing with a particular focus on design, materials and craftsmanship. They can include small desk games as well as playing cards, puzzles, board games, chess sets and other games for adults. Many design games are created to look just as good on display as they do in play, so there is no need to hide them away in a cupboard after the last round.
Which desk games are suitable for a short break at the office?
Compact games with simple rules and little preparation are ideal for short breaks. Small games of skill or two-player games can provide a few minutes of welcome distraction without turning into a full games night. At LIVOSY, you’ll currently find compact games from Lund Design House, among others, whose small size makes them particularly well suited to a desk.
Can desk games help to reduce stress?
A small game can offer an opportunity to shift your attention away from work for a few minutes and give your hands something analogue to do. Desk games should not, however, be attributed any medical or therapeutic effects. Instead, they can simply provide an easy way to consciously do something different for a moment.
Are there affordable desk games that don’t take up much space?
Yes. Small desk games don’t have to be particularly large or expensive. Compact designs such as Tic Tac Toe, mini bowling and other games of skill require very little space and can remain on display as decorative accessories when you’re not playing. The Lund Design House games at LIVOSY, for example, are accessible design objects and make charming little gifts for adults.
Which games are suitable for the office when time and space are limited?
Games with short rounds, few pieces and straightforward rules are particularly practical for the office and home office. They’re quick to start and just as easy to pause. Small office games can be played during a break, between tasks or with colleagues without permanently taking up much space on your desk.
Which games work well as decoration in a modern living room
Games whose materials, colours and shapes complement your interior are particularly suitable. Minimalist board games, distinctive playing cards, chess sets and beautifully designed puzzles can become part of your interior when displayed on a coffee table, sideboard or shelf. A design game can then work both as something to play and as a decorative object.
Where can I buy high-quality design games and decorative games in Germany?
You can discover design games for adults online at LIVOSY. Our selection brings together play and good design and is set to grow in the future. At the moment, you’ll find compact design games from Lund Design House, among others, for desks, offices and the home.
Which games are suitable for quick rounds around the coffee table?
Games with straightforward rules and little preparation are particularly practical for quick rounds. Depending on the number of players, Tic Tac Toe, card games or compact board games and games of skill can all be good choices. If you’d like to leave the game out on your coffee table afterwards, it’s also worth choosing materials and a design that complement your interior.
Which games are good for taking your mind off things during a short break?
Simple analogue games can help shift your attention to something different for a moment. Small games of skill, cards and games with only a few rules are particularly uncomplicated. They require little preparation and can easily be put aside again after a few minutes. The best choice depends on whether you prefer to play alone, with another person or with colleagues.
Which games for short breaks work without an internet connection?
Classic analogue games require neither an internet connection nor a screen. These include playing cards, puzzles, board games and small games of skill or desk games. For short breaks, games that require little set-up or are ready to play straight away are particularly practical.
Which games are particularly suitable for short breaks at the office?
Compact games with short rounds and simple gameplay are particularly practical at the office. They take up very little space and can easily be paused when the next meeting starts or the phone rings. Depending on the game, small desk games can be played alone or enjoyed as a quick round with colleagues.
Which high-quality games make good gifts for adults?
Design games are particularly appealing gifts for adults when they suit the recipient’s personality and interior style. Small desk games make an easy little gift, while beautifully designed board games, chess sets, puzzles or distinctive playing cards can make a more substantial present. Materials, craftsmanship and design often make all the difference.
Are board games or card games better as gifts?
It depends on how the recipient likes to play. Playing cards are usually more compact, versatile and easy to take with you. A high-quality board game, on the other hand, can have a stronger presence as a design object in its own right and is particularly suitable for people who enjoy playing together. For design lovers, it’s worth considering the design, materials and craftsmanship with either option.
What makes an exclusive board game a special gift?
With high-quality games, it’s not just the gameplay that matters. Special materials, careful craftsmanship, graphic design and beautifully made playing pieces can transform a classic game into a design object. For adults with an interest in interiors and design, a game like this can be entertainment, a home accessory and a gift all at once.
