But over the years, date nights have taken on different forms and have not been limited to these activities. Whether it’s going to a concert, visiting a museum, or playing a game, the definition of a date night has expanded over the years, with couples able to enjoy more activities together. 

One such activity that couples can do is play games together, whether they are classic board games, video games, or games on their mobile phones.
