You'll find the retailers offering the lowest prices beside each entry, and there should be plenty floating around thanks to this year's Black Friday board game deals. Speaking of buying, our bargain-hunting software should help you save a little along the way too. Long gone are the days when Monopoly was the most interesting thing on the menu.Ĭurious about how we settled on these suggestions? We only ever include board games that our writers have had extensive, hands-on experience with, so we'll never mention a product we wouldn't buy - or back - ourselves. If you want to know more, you can see a full breakdown of our process in the ' how we test' section further down the page. If you ask us, these recommendations should be in everyone's collection.
We've also divided this list of the best board games into use-cases so that it's easy to find whatever you're in the mood for (and if you're still stuck, don't forget to check in with our advice on how to choose board games).
That's because we've rounded up our favorites across multiple genres here you'll find everything from team games and 2-player classics to role playing must-haves below.
