So you’ve played Monopoly, and Clue, and Candyland. Those games are great — but there are more fun, innovative, and intellectually challenging board games out there to try.
11 board games you should be playing as an adult
You won’t regret it.
This list dates from spring 2014, but I stand by all these game recommendations. If you want to branch out from the list, since I wrote it I’ve greatly enjoyed Pandemic, Twilight Struggle, Mysterium, Eclipse, 1960: Making of the President, and Android: Netrunner. I’m still in the middle of a Gloomhaven campaign, and while it’s ludicrously expensive, it’s worth the investment; if you’re a more sensible person than me and want to save money, you can wait for the video game version coming soon. I’ve been meaning to get around to trying Pandemic: Legacy and Terraforming Mars, and while I can’t vouch for them personally, they come highly recommended.
So, keeping in mind that this is just a brief sampling, here are 11 titles to try if you’re just getting into board games.
