The University of Guelph-Humber and Humber Polytechnic Library have introduced a new board game collection aimed at supporting student wellness and creative learning. The collection is available to students and staff and has over 80 games—including Catan, The Last Straw!, and Wingspan. Its purpose is to offer students a low-cost way to unwind, connect with peers, and engage with academic content in new ways. Some instructors are incorporating the games into their teaching to explore topics such as the social determinants of health. “You’re developing strategy, working with teammates or in competition with others,” said Humber Collections Librarian Lindsay Bontje of the initiative. “It’s something fun and cheap.”
