Sometimes, when staring at screens all day doesn’t cut it, it may be best to turn back to more traditional forms of entertainment. Some turn to doodling, and others turn to other interesting things such as traditional or modern board games.
This Twitter account collates cat photos that are specifically taken in the vicinity of a board game, or board game boxes.
Most of the tweets are retweets of other people posting about their cats in said context od board games.

This cat seemed interested in becoming Dungeon Master, or perhaps leading the entire party.

While the owner and their friend try to learn a new game, the cat had taken up residence inside the box that the game came in.

One player even practiced social distancing with their cat who seemed insistent on sitting ON the board, probably.

Another cat completely ground a game to a halt, but not before posing for the camera sweetly.
We were also quickly reminded of the real reason we stopped playing. 😬😉 pic.twitter.com/vfJ0FJvTdb

This one seems to prefer guarding the boxes and boxes of games that their owner has, and they’re doing quite good at their job, surely.

This intergalactic cat seems to be interested in taking over the galaxy in this space-themed board game.

Speaking on the space theme, this cat seems really interested in watching its owner play, but also curious as to how the game works.

This cat is a stickler to the rules and very meticulously studies the rulebook so they can tell the humans how to play.

Cats sure do love watching what their owners do, from homework to board games, and the owners seem happy to engage in this by taking pictures before continuing on what they were doing before.
