The best board games to gift (and play) this 2024 holiday season

This time of year is best spent with friends and family, and it’s even better if you can do so with a little less screen time. Board games are a classic and fun way to bring everyone together, and there are more to choose from now than ever before. Classics like Monopoly and Scrabble will always have their place, but dozens of newcomers can make your next game night unique. From word puzzles to whodunnits to calming playthroughs that showcase the beauty of the little things in life, there’s a board game out there that will suit every friend and family group you have. Below are some of our favorite board games (and new ones we want to play this year) that are great options to pick up before visitors start to come over for the holidays, and they make great holiday gifts, too.

Check out the rest of our gift ideas here.
