Let's Go back to Play

As children we learn almost everything through playing, which feeds our imagination. And then... we grow up and stop. Life often becomes a suffocating routine, appointments with the seriousness and grace of a well-ironed shirt.

Why not go back to the light-heartedness of the game?

You can really find time to have fun and relax with the people you love, and one of the best ways to do this is with party games.

Leave your tablet and smartphone, clear the table, and go back to when you enjoyed simple things. You can play whenever you prefer, you never have to look for a charger or a wi-fi connection... and in all probability the cost is almost always negligible. In addition, by doing so you can re-establish a good level of interaction with family and friends in a matter of hours.

We have therefore decided to introduce you ...

A design inspired by famous, classic games that everyone knows ...

... An Ancient Game

Shanghai or Mikado is a game that may have originated in China in the Seventies, however, as early as the Sixteenth Century, there was a similar pastime in France, called "Jonchets". It is played on a table, using 41 colored sticks.

Slender, light object, Roger by Caoscreo, designed by Lorenzo Redaelli, is placed in any environment thanks to its versatility, immediately becoming its protagonist. Ideal for hanging jackets and coats, it is not only functional, but also a safe, lively, modern way of furnishing ...

A player, holding the Shanghai pieces in their hand, with their tips touching the table, will let them fall like a fan. At this point they will try to remove as many as possible from the group, trying not to move the others.

The game ends when all the Shanghai sticks have been collected and whoever gets the most points wins.

The instant before the sticks fall is immortalized by Roger. Each element overlaps in an apparently casual manner on top of the other, composing a structure that is instead harmonic and thoughtful.

...The most famous...

The Jigsaw is a famous Puzzle game in which small pieces of cardboard must be inserted to reconstruct the image proposed on the box.

The Caoscreo design line offers us its personal interpretation of this timeless game with Puzzle Table by Puzzle One Planet.

Elements of a Puzzle become small tables to furnish every space with joy and originality; thanks to the In and Out versions it will be possible to customize your composition to the maximum. The available colors are the basic and versatile white, black and red.

Invented in 1760 by a London cartographer and engraver, Puzzle were originally exclusively geographically themed and were made of wood. Over time, the subjects of the game also became historical and everyday episodes, drawings of animals or fantasy. In 1910 the interlocking pieces were created and from 1950 cardboard became their constituent material. The quality of the print was much improved and it was possible to more faithfully reproduce famous paintings and detailed photos.

We can furnish with creativity by introducing an element and more of Puzzle in a living room, in a waiting room, in an office. We can also combine different colors, playing with pieces and combinations. The environment will instantly be charged with energy, color and even just for an instant pleasant memories will resurface with a sure positive effect on your mood.

What are the benefits of going back to play?

It is primarily a healthy practice for the mind. A brain that is always in motion also stirs the body. The benefits that will be derived from it range from lowering blood pressure to strengthening the immune system.

Today critical thinking is an essential skill. There is no better way to increase creativity and learn to think outside the box than by playing a board game. Winning requires ingenuity, strategy and creativity. These are skills that can be useful in any context and help with self-esteem. You learn a lot by playing: how to temper the ego and develop healthy competition.

Board games have also evolved and are pushed out of the domestic context. You may find a gaming community not far from home.
