Guide: The money lessons your family could learn from board games this Christmas

There is perhaps no better time than the festive season to sit down and enjoy a favourite board game with your loved ones.

But as many families know, a friendly game can quickly get competitive. Sometimes this even leads to heated arguments over who gets to be the banker or who suddenly “forgot” to follow the rules.

If this sounds familiar, it might be worth reframing some of the more heated moments as opportunities for learning.

Many of the world’s most popular board games contain valuable lessons about money, risk, and financial decision-making. These skills could help your family manage their finances more effectively, both now and in the future.

For instance, Risk teaches players how to balance diversification and growth, while The Game of Life helps them understand how to align money with what matters most.
