“…Gameplay resulted in students’ posttest results being higher than their pretest, suggesting that playing improved participants’ understanding of thoracic differential diagnoses (Ober, 2017). Moreover, Pinhatti et al (2019) suggested that board gameplay is pleasant and an alternative approach to use in diagnostic imaging classes. Veterinary students in a diagnostic imaging course in Brazil were challenged to interpret radiographic and ultrasound images using a board game.…”

“…Veterinary students in a diagnostic imaging course in Brazil were challenged to interpret radiographic and ultrasound images using a board game. Following lectures and practical activities, students' response to the after board gameplay questionnaire indicated growth in class engagement, exam preparation, and enhanced learning process (Pinhatti et al, 2019).…”

Background Recent years have seen the resurgence of board games designed for entertainment, and to teach or explicate real life problems. The revival of board gameplay has been discussed in mainstream media, and has drawn the attention of researchers. Yet, in the field of games studies, the conception of games as learning spaces is mostly emphasized through digital/video games. Aim This literature review reveals the current knowledge regarding the learning potential of board games in various settings, subjects, and diverse learners. Results Board games are spaces for mathematical learning and learning spaces that can enable the learning of various contents. Board games allow for various interactions that result in players engaging in computational thinking, teamwork, and creativity. Conclusion The relationship between board gameplay and learning is evidenced across disciplines and countries. Board games simplify complex issues and systems, which make them appropriate to further explore learning and concepts such as motivation and computational thinking in formal and informal settings. Furthermore, there is need to expand research on learning in commercial board games.

Traditional lectures, where students listen passively, often do not reflect the complexity of real-life decision-making situations. Furthermore, modern students are using online devices for daily activities, and this has a challenging side effect for educators, as many people these days can only maintain their focus if topics are discussed in concise and engaging ways. For these reasons, there is growing interest in the use of games for educational purposes. The aim of this study was to introduce a board game based on the Clue game for final-year veterinary students during their practical activity in large animal medicine. This type of learning process was compared with a classical case-based discussion and evaluated via a survey delivered to the students to both test their acquired knowledge and obtain their evaluation of the activity. A total of 49 students were enrolled in this study. While the board game was evaluated significatively better than the traditional class, no statistically significant differences were observed for the answers given to questions assessing their veterinary skills. The proposed game requires few resources other than a case-based visual materials and analyses from clinical patients, a board, two dice, and some imagination to create cases at the appropriate level for students’ knowledge. We conclude that this board game–based activity represents innovative techniques to teach clinical approaches in an interactive way with the same utility as a traditional class but is more enjoyable for the students.
