Gaming Experience
A few of the games I’ve played over the years that I keep coming back to. I don’t want to make a whole list of games, but the few ones I mention here are games that I think teach very good overall skills that can be applied in many different areas of life.
Dota 2
I played this game competitively for a while, and I think I’ve learned some lessons on working together as a team that I wouldn’t have otherwise.
Magic: The Gathering
This game is great at teaching logical thinking. By virtue of being played with a randomized deck, each game provided news challenges, and each line of play has to be thought out in order to pick the right one.
