The best board games for video game fans

Do you love video games? If that’s the case but you haven’t checked out board games as well, there’s a lot you’ve been missing. The analog side of the hobby is every bit as good as the digital one. In some ways, it may even be better! Hence, I’ve compiled a list of the eight games I recommend the most for video game fans who want to try the amazing world of board games.

Board games take more effort to play than video games. Most can’t be played alone, which makes player count and length more important. Hence, this is not just a list of great games. Rather, I’ve decided to focus on titles that show what analog gaming is capable of and also its most unique features.

I’ve also taken care not to include games that are too long, expensive or difficult. While I don’t question your commitment to Crusader Kings and Dark Souls, having that type of games as your only choice isn’t the best. Remember, you’ll be playing with other people! In fact, I’ve noted how many players you need for each game, so you can take it into account when you kidnap them.

Lastly, I’ve taken care to list games that are easy to find. Most of these can be found in the average hobby shop and a few are quite cheap on the secondary market.
