One of the things that I've started to do with the time I spend offline is to get involved with healthy competitions or contests which can serve as a good test of my skill set. I try to test myself in physically and mentally demanding contests and for some reason, this is something I find enjoyable.
I do this because it is becoming fairly obvious in this day and time that the internet is already a big part of our lives. Yeah. I'm sure it wouldn't be a surprise that so many people get bored when they are in a situation that warrants doing stuff offline. This in itself is a problem but I don't think we need a radical solution to that problem.
That's where getting involved with offline games, competitions or contests can prove to be very effective. At least, that's the case for me.
At any given time, getting into a footballing competition would be my top choice, but circumstances have led to my decision to take a very long break from playing the game. Instead, I now go for other things like athletics competitions, especially running.
The most recent physical contest I recently got involved with is Checkers, a board game that's designed to be played by two people at a time. It's a strategy game which is popularly known as drafts.
I played this game a lot during my boarding school days and that was over a decade ago, but I never got to play that again until recently. The day I saw where young lads were playing the game, I immediately got involved and I was overwhelmed by a surge of anticipation.
It was fun to have an opportunity to play the game again after so long. I decided to get in for some rounds and I'm not surprised that I wasn't doing alright. I had trouble trying to work out a decent playing strategy and I got trashed the first couple of times I attempted playing that game again. I didn't even have the luxury to be embarrassed. Haha. I was just enjoying the moment.
That side of things worked itself out when I paid good attention and made an effort to consistently go for rounds, even when I was getting trashed by folks who were more knowledgeable about the game. After getting out strategized in 2 - 3 rounds, everything started to fall back in place. I got my first win in the 4th round or thereabout and that was the exact time I started to enjoy the game in Its fullness. Haha.
Aside from Checkers, I also got to play the Ludo game that day. Ludo is quite popular in Nigeria. You would be surprised to know that the first time I ever played Ludo was in 2020 and I consistently got trashed. Haha. When I got an opportunity to play it again a few weeks ago, I just got in, got trashed, and didn't hang around for more trashing. Haha. My competitive heart couldn't take that much trashing for a game that doesn't exactly whet my appetite.
That's it, folks. These physical games are interesting to play and there are more of those in my books. Of course, winning would be nice, but I can also be a good sport even when I'm losing.
Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.

I'm not a fan of games but I can watch people playing it, once in a blue moon, I play ludo, that's during my childhood though. I don't know anything about draft, even when I watch people playing it, I never developed interest in it.
Haha... Ludo was never part of my childhood. Even at this moment, it's a game that doesn't exactly excite me, but I play it if I'm with someone that enjoys the game

I have never played the checkers game. It is a champion at ludo game or Ayo games. As per these two, no matter how old I am, if I see kids playing too, I tell them to add me up and we play. Hubby grew up in a home where they played lots of indoor games because he wasn't allowed to come out, yet I always thrash him with these games. I doubt if you will win me in them. But it was good you competed in the games you mentioned recently to try your hands again on them.😅
Haha... Adoore is buzzing already. I can imagine you playing these games and bullying anyone that shows up to compete in it against you. Lol. That's interesting.
I won't even compete in this against you. I'm so bad in these games. I only show up to get trashed by experts. Haha.

I am not really someone that loves to partake in contests and competitions, I might overthink it too much and eventually end up being pessimistic about it🥲. I think I also prefer physical contests like those board games you mentions. I can’t play checkers but I love ludo, chess, scrabble, monopoly, etc. I see them as fun more than competitions
