7 Wonders
This product was recommended by Ruhul Amin from SprayerMag
There are dozens and dozens of board games, but none like 7 Wonders. Creating your own society and city can be a massive and decade-spanning task in real life, but 7 Wonders makes it seem like an absolute breeze thanks to how easy it is to learn and how fast the game moves. Your job is to help a legendary city like Athens achieve greatness through scientific discovery, trade, military conquest, or by building one of the wonders of the ancient world. The theme is certainly presented in a grand way, with each player responsible for building one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, but the game mechanics themselves are gloriously simple and yet a lot of fun to play.

Avalon Hill Betrayal at House on the Hill
This product was recommended by Alina Clark from CocoDoc
I would give Betrayal at House on the Hill five stars out of five just on entertainment value and replayability, I find myself longing for more stars to give, in honor of the game’s perfect, sturdy, robust, proportional and dependable thickness. Truly the thickest game that ever thicked thicks.
Hasbro Risk Game
This product was recommended by Christina Russo from The Kitchen Community
The best way to learn to think strategically, an invaluable lesson for life, isn’t by playing chess, it’s by playing Risk. Why? Because Risk teaches its players to outwit and outthink several opponents at once while promoting the value of thinking outside of the box to find solutions to seemingly impossible problems. It’s more than just a game, it’s a lesson in life and how to live it.
Stonemaier Games Scythe Board Game
This product was recommended by Gelen Revilla from Good Noise
Keep friends and family entertained with the Stonemaier Games Scythe board game. It’s a time of unrest in 1920s Europa and the ashes from the first Great War still darken the snow. In this Europa board game, the capitalistic city-state known simply as the factory, which fueled the war with heavily armored Mechs, has closed its doors, drawing the attention of several nearby countries. Scythe is a board game set in an alternate-history 1920s period. It’s a time of farming and war as well as broken hearts. In this 1920s board game, each player represents a fallen leader attempting to restore their honor and lead their faction to power in Eastern Europa.
Pandemic Board game
This product was recommended by Olivia Tan from CocoFax
I recommend this product because the odds are against you from the start in Pandemic, but that’s the beauty of it. This co-op epic is never less than thrilling, and good communication (not to mention the ability to think on your feet) is your only hope of winning. It never feels hopeless, though; despite players being tasked with holding back a clutch of super-diseases from spreading across the world, they’re armed with unique abilities that can help them turn the tide. This injection of strategy helps Pandemic reach the top spot as one of the best board games overall.
Czech Games Codenames
This product was recommended by Jeff Mains from Champion Leadership Group LLC
With associative vocabulary and espionage, it’s a match made in assassination heaven: Party word game Codenames has two teams competing to find all of their agents before the other team does. A five-by-five grid is filled with a random assortment of words. To keep track of which words belong to which side, each spymaster is given a card with a list of words that are either neutral or black assassin terms. The spymasters each pronounce a word and a number at the same time. To locate the words linked with the clue, their team has that many guesses (plus one). If they choose properly, the word is painted in their chosen color, and they proceed. Unless they choose the assassin word, in which case they lose instantly, they cannot guess incorrectly. The winning team is the one that locates all of its terms first. The granular variety of the phrases makes it an intriguing and hard problem, even though it is incredibly basic and quick to learn.
Everdell Collectors Edition 2nd Edition
This product was recommended by Dan Troha from Draftsim
I recommend Everdell Board Game or Everdell the Collectors Edition from Starling Games. It is a great fantasy board game for young and older people. It will appeal to people playing on their own or the family and groups of friends playing together. It features all kinds of forest critters and plants which come into the gameplay as characters, locations and tokens. The purpose is to build a fantasy forest city. It’s kinda quaint with wooden playing pieces and an 8-sided die. Everdell is great to play next to the fireplace in groups of two to four players, and even on your own. It has enough depth to keep you engaged but isn’t too demanding. It is really up to the players to decide how intensely they want to play and compete. There are current and forthcoming expansions for the game as well.

SEQUENCE- Original SEQUENCE Game
This product was recommended by Ryan Yount from LuckLuckGo
Sequence is my best recommendation for the best board game since you are allowed to play a card from your hand and place a chip on the corresponding space in the game board. A sequence is complete when you have five in a row. To win, you have to score the required number of five-card sequences before your opponent does. The game allows 2 – 12 players and is easy enough for children to enjoy and challenging for adults, ensuring lots of fun.

You get interlocking checkers and folding game board features, which enable you to store it easily with lots of years to play. This is a great set for teaching the next generation of players.

Catan Board Game
This product was recommended by Cindy Corpis from SearchPeopleFree
Catan is the embodiment of a gateway game as it is simple to pick up and exposes new players to hobby games in a pleasant, approachable way. The rules are simple to teach, and I’ve seen total non-gamers grasp the concept in just a few turns. Catan is a fantastically simple game to play, yet it is intricate and tough to master. Catan is a game that is best suited to being expanded and enhanced, as the base game is only the beginning of the Catan world.

What Do You Meme? Core Game
This product was recommended by Paul Baterina from Sleep Advisor
Whenever my girlfriend and I host Game Nights, we love playing ‘What Do You Meme’ with our friends. What Do You Meme is a card game where you match a picture with the funniest caption you can think of. It’s best to play this game with adults because the captions can be raunchy and not suitable for anyone younger than 17 years old. I like this game because I love reading and sharing funny memes on my social media accounts. Plus, you never know what caption will get paired with a picture, so it always generates a lot of good laughs in my social group.
