As the holiday season approaches, there is no better way to spread joy and bring people together than with the gift of board games.
Whether you are shopping for seasoned gamers or introducing someone to the world of tabletop fun, this holiday gift guide has something for everyone. These are our favorite games that we love to suggest to everyone.
Onitama
Onitama is an elegant two-player chess-like game with perfect information and fewer moves. You have access to two moves at a time and when you perform one, you must swap your move. The game is very easy to understand but has a ton of depth with the moves. The only reason you lose the game is because you gave your opponent the move that allowed them to win.
Bang!
Bang! is a super fun hidden identity game with a spaghetti western style. The only open role is the sheriff trying to kill the outlaws and the renegade, the outlaws are trying to kill the sheriff, deputies are trying to protect the sheriff, and the renegade wants to be the last person standing. Great for a party, with a variety of characters to play, it is a must-have.
Root
Set in a vibrant woodland realm, Root invites players into a world of political intrigue where factions with unique abilities vie for control. What makes Root truly outstanding is its asymmetrical gameplay. Each faction possesses its own playstyle, goals, and mechanics, creating a dynamic and ever-evolving narrative. Whether you're leading the Marquise de Cat's military conquest, the Eyrie's ambitious regime, or the vagabond's solitary journey, every game unfolds as a unique story with unpredictable twists.
In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, Dead of Winter challenges players not only to endure the undead menace but also to navigate the complexities of group dynamics and individual motives. What sets Dead of Winter apart is its intense thematic immersion. Players find themselves not only combating the relentless zombie horde but also facing personal and group objectives that may conflict with the greater good.
