When it comes to games, most people, especially parents, think that it is bad. However, if well-managed with rule, playing game can build more reflection, strategic thinking and critical thinking to players.
Now, I’d like to take one online strategy game “Clash of
Clan (CoC)” as a case study to prove that playing game is good for mind. CoC is
a famous strategic game, created by SuperCell, that generates millions of revenue. This game
helps player to be reflected faster and build their strategic and critical
thinking. Why? In order to win a 3-minute battle to get “3 Stars”, players need
to think on how to use what types of army and where to starts the fight. In case,
players well-prepared and reflect on using good strategy, they end up gaining
the wealth as well as at least 1 star. The more they play, the better their
thinking are.
However, there is a drawback as well “addiction”. Playing
the game without rule will ruin the time of players. That’s why we need the
rule to limit yourself when is the good time to play and when is not. For parents,
they should schedule the time for their children to play the game and should
not allow them to play any games whenever/wherever they want. Create the rule
for them so it will also build the good habit for them as well.
Below is just the video of the battle in CoC:
