Top 10 Fun Board Games

 

Bored? Looking for something interesting fun to do? Or simply looking for an activity that you and your friends can indulge in?

Then board games are the way to go. 

The popularity of board games has thrived over years, in spite of the thousands of games apps on phones. 

Every year, you will find hundreds of new board games being released.

Even if it is a new edition of a popular game, you will find yourself checking them out, if only for a slice of nostalgia.

Here are the TOP 10 BOARD GAMES 

1) Monopoly

Thought to be one of the oldest games, Monopoly is one of the most popular games to play when you have friends over or having a family night.

The game lets you buy properties around the board, and build houses or hotels on it as well. And then you wait as your opponent eventually lands on your property and has to pay rent.

Monopoly is one of those games that can be played for hours.

2) Ludo

The Ludo game app may be the most popular game played during the pandemic when people had to stay apart from friends and in some cases, family too.

Ludo was one of those games that was most downloaded.

But before the app, it was a board game which was played competitively because you had to make sure all your pieces reached home before your opponent sent them back to the start.

Ludo can be tons of fun but also frustrating if your opponent keeps sending you back just as you were about to reach home.

3) Chess

This strategy based game helps sharpen the mind. 

Chess helps improve focus and helps you develop focus. This two player game has gained popularity over the years and used as themes in popular books and TV shows.

Remember The Queen's Gambit?

4) Operation 

This game may be about improving focus but usually its fun to lose once in your turn just so the red nose buzzer can go off.

5) Cluedo

Someone is murdered and it is up to you to figure out who did it, in which room and with which weapon.

Unless you are the killer! 

6) Scrabble

The most popular word game is still wellloved even after it was released as an app.

Scrabble can be played by four players. It is guaranteed hours of fun as players scramble to find the perfect word with the highest score.

7) Snakes and Ladders

It started off as snakes and ladders but has over the years seen various versions.

The game was also sold as Chutes and Ladders.

8) Pictionary

The ever popular charades game so an interesting twist in the 1980s. 

The former game that required one team to guess what the other was trying to say, was later turned into a game where one team had to guess what their team member had drawn.

And you don't really have to be great at drawing to play this game. 

9) Battleship

Before Battleship was a movie it was actually a popular board game where one player had to guess where their opponent had placed their ships by calling out a series of combinations and try to sink the enemy's ships.

This game helps in improving your tactical skills as well as help you make decisions faster.

10) The Game of Life

Life can change with the turn of a spinner. The Game of Life can be an interesting game to play with your family and friends. 

The choices you make along the way, just like in real life, will help you either win or make you learn an important lesson.
