Probably! I've never played myself, but i see it being more and more common around me. Game nights in general too. But is Improv not already considered nerdy? I love seeing how subcultures intersect, sometimes in surprising ways :) Or maybe it's just that the people around me have their toes dipped in many subcultures at once - it's hard to tell. the game will replace the traditional poker night as a venue for American adults to socialise.
Jane Douglas has called it “improv theatre for nerds”.
A friend of my wife’s introduced us to her 20-something year old cousin as a potential babysitter. She’s since become a friend of ours. She and her (I’m assuming also 20-something yo) boyfriend come over on Sunday’s now for game night. It’s looking like it will mostly be Settlers of Catan. I was surprised that they’ve been playing for years. I actually like them much more than the older cousin that introduced us. I’m convinced that age is largely irrelevant for friendships, at a certain point. Anyways, it seems to me that gaming is alive and well with the millennials, which is a good thing.
