10 Best Board Games for When You are Bored
Five months of staying at home gets to at us at some point or the other. On some days no amount of Instagram scrolling or Netflix makes your day better and online Ludo is nowhere close to the classic board games. It’s time to take out the old dusty boxes or perhaps buy some new games and set up a game night. Here’s a list of the 10 best board games for you to play or dramatically throw off the table when you are losing.
1. Sequence
A strategy based game that individuals or teams can play. It is the perfect combination of a card and board game. It is fast-paced and keeps all players on edge.
2 to 12 players
Age group: 7 and above
2. Monopoly
The classic game is probably where a lot of us learnt the absolute basics of capitalism. It has a fancier credit card version now, so it’s perfect if you are missing swiping your card at the mall.
Players- Depends on the edition of the game
Ages: 8 and up
3. Ludo
There is rarely anyone who doesn’t know how to play Ludo, and that’s exactly why the game makes it to the top 10. Of course, the game board usually comes with Snakes and Ladders on the opposite which is a major plus!
Up to 4 players
Ages: All age groups
4. Game of Life
The game is precisely what the name suggests—you build a life. Unlike other games, it’s one of its kind and a must-have.
2-4 players
Ages: 9 and up
5. Settlers of Catan
A game for those who love strategy, and don’t mind a slightly lengthier playtime. The initial setup can take a while, so be patient because it is worth the wait!
6. Scrabble
It is perfect for nights when you aren’t looking for an adrenalin rush. It’ll make you brainstorm, but it doesn’t have much to do with strategy.
2-4 players
Ages: 10 and above
7. Pictionary
A game of Pictionary is ideal for a game night. Its keeps you on edge, and at the same time does not require too much brainstorming. While some would say its only fun when players know how to draw, someone with zero artistic capabilities might give you a good laugh.
3 or more players
Ages: 12 and above
8.Cluedo
This is perfect for the Sherlock in you. Create and solve your little murder mystery and feel like a detective.
2-6 players
Ages: 8 and above
9. Chess
The classic game of strategy that probably doesn’t have a match. The only reason it comes so low in the list is because of the long set of rules and the player limitation.
2 players
Ages; 6 and above
10. Guess who
As the name suggests, you have to guess who. It is as simple as that. A short and simple game to keep you busy.
2 players
Ages: 6 and above
