Dungeons and Dragons


Dungeons and Dragons is a fantasy based RPG board game where the players take the place of the people in a story playing as the characters. The players have the option to do anything they could normally do in real life except in a setting other than the present where every action is determined by the roll of a die. The story could be one in space where the people playing are the crew of a ship exploring the galaxy. Or they could be living in a fantasy world where they cast spells, fight monsters, and perform heroic feats. This is a great game that uses the imagination of the players and the storytelling ability of the Dungeon Master who narrates the story using Non-Player Characters and quests. What I like the most about it is the imagination aspect of it. It stimulates the creative side of our brains and also the strategic side when dealing with problems in the story.
