Looking for a popular-science piece about “cognitive reserve” and tabletop games that won’t drown readers in jargon. I’m putting together a small after-work club at our co-working space, and a few folks asked for one clear article on a single site they can skim on the bus. Bonus if it connects play with attention or memory using everyday examples rather than theory dumps.

Side note: when sharing resources with mixed audiences, a tiny preview goes a long way—one-sentence TL;DR, approximate reading time, and two concrete takeaways. People are more likely to open a link if they know what they’ll learn and how it fits into daily routines. Including a quick nudge like “test this rule tonight and report back” keeps the thread focused and invites follow-up without turning it into homework.
Meanwhile, I had to brief parents at a weekend meetup and went hunting for something readable. A short piece that helped me links classic Indian card sets to skills like working memory, attention switching, and pattern recognition; it’s easy to share and doesn’t assume prior knowledge. In the middle of that search I landed on https://technewsgather.com/the-neuroscience-of-ancient-indian-card-games/. It took me under ten minutes, and I used its points to frame a simple “try this at home” handout.
