Popular board games for seniors include classics like Scrabble, Chess, and Bingo, as well as strategic options such as Ticket to Ride and Rummikub.

Popular card games for seniors include Bridge, Rummy, and Solitaire, which offer a mix of social and solitary activities to keep the mind engaged. Other good options are Hearts, Spades, and Crazy Eights, which can help improve memory and problem-solving skills.

Puzzles benefit seniors by improving cognitive function, enhancing emotional and mental well-being, and encouraging social interaction. They can boost memory, problem-solving skills, and concentration while reducing stress and anxiety. Puzzles also improve fine motor skills and visual-spatial reasoning, and studies suggest they may even help delay symptoms of dementia.
