Tired of seeing your child glued to a screen? You're not alone. Today’s kids spend an average of 4 to 6 hours a day on digital devices—impacting their sleep, focus, and emotional well-being. But what if you could reduce screen time without tantrums, and replace it with something fun, meaningful, and deeply rooted in Indian culture?
At Roll the Dice, we believe traditional Indian board games offer a joyful, effective solution to screen overload. Let’s explore how these time-tested games can help your family reconnect—offline and in real life.
