Recently, reporters visited and found that although this type of emerging toys has gradually become popular among the elderly, and some companies are accelerating their development, they still need to break through traditional thinking in terms of product functions, form innovation, market positioning, etc., in order to truly meet the physical and mental needs of the elderly.Grandma Yuan, think about how to arrange the different colored round chess pieces in order by comparing the colors of the cards in the shortest time possible? "At 10 am on April 22, in the educational activity area of the Chunxuanmao Senior Apartment on the South Third Ring Road in Chengdu, 81-year-old Yuan Zhongrong was concentrating on playing four-color chess under the guidance of the staff.
