A board games festival was held at a school in Bulgaria where students, parents, and grandparents came together to play traditional Bulgarian games like "Dama" and dominoes. Over 20 different board games were brought by families to share. Students who did not know how to play some of the games received instruction from their parents and grandparents. In the end, around 50 people participated in the festival and all had fun developing new rules for some games, with everyone feeling like a winner.
