Best Board Games of 2025

"I purchased this Monopoly board game because we needed more options at home and wanted to reduce screen time for the kids. Monopoly is an excellent game that teaches my children about finance and money. The board quality is impressive, and it has held up well so far. Very nice product!"

"I really enjoy the classic version of Monopoly. It's easy for newcomers to follow, and it takes a bit of time to finish, which gives families a chance to chat and enjoy each other’s company. The game was a great value, reasonably priced, and came with all the pieces we needed to start playing right away!"

"I bought this for my daughter and her family, and none of them had prior experience with Monopoly. They are having a fantastic time playing it! Even my eight-year-old granddaughter is getting into it, buying properties, and having a blast!"

"Ticket to Ride has become a staple in our family game nights. It's an absolute delight for players of all ages! The premise is simple yet engaging, and it helps kids learn geography. The quality of the components reflects great attention to detail, and the game is perfect for both quick and longer sessions."

"As a board game enthusiast, I quickly fell in love with Ticket to Ride! It’s deceptively simple—just build train routes—but the competition heats up quickly. What I appreciate most is that it's easy for beginners yet strategic enough for seasoned players. It’s a must-have for anyone who enjoys a mix of plotting and blocking!"

"I love this game! It's super fun and easy to play, making it possible to enjoy with just two people. It’s great for family gatherings and always brings a lot of excitement."

"This board game isn't as robust as the one my grandma bought decades ago, yet it’s not flimsy. I doubt these cards will last as long, so I'm planning to get a replacement deck. SORRY! is a fantastic game that's simple enough for my kids to learn on their own. My grandchildren, aged 7 and 8, were playing independently after I taught them the rules!"

"We had a wonderful time playing this on Thanksgiving! Everyone enjoyed it, from parents to great-grandma, and even the kids aged 6 and 10. It’s easy to understand and brought on plenty of laughter and fun."

"For me, Sorry! has always been my favorite board game! After losing my original version, I bought a new one from Amazon, and it arrived in pristine condition. This game offers a thrilling mix of strategy and luck, and can be played with up to four players, making it endlessly enjoyable!"

"This game is a blast, especially with a large group! I can’t believe how fast it starts and how long we can play. After seeing it on TikTok, I knew it had to be part of my game night essentials. Just a heads up, it didn’t come with batteries, but luckily I had some on hand!"

"I was surprised at how challenging this game turned out to be, even for adults. I got it for my granddaughter, and we had a fantastic time playing together. It's definitely coming with us on our next trip!"

"I discovered this game at a friend's house and loved it so much that I ordered it on Amazon. It took a little while to arrive, but it came in perfect condition. It's entertaining, easy to play, and I highly recommend it for family or friend gatherings!"

"My grandkids absolutely loved this game and had to play every time they visited. I've played hundreds of games, and the time spent together was invaluable. We added new rules, like moving according to the sum of the dice, which really increased the game's educational value. Sturdy bubble and game board, but I only gave 5 stars for the game itself, not the outer box that tore up."

"I bought this as a gift for my grandson. It's another really fun and learning game that will help him learn how to count and take turns. A fantastic first game for little ones!"

"I had a great experience with this product. Shipping was fast and the product description was spot on. The game itself is engaging, but the packaging looked like it had been returned multiple times."

"We played this game right after purchasing it on Prime Day. I would have bought it at full price if I knew how much my family would enjoy it. Easy to pick up and fun! Great value with nice pieces and materials. Perfect for kids aged 5 and older."

"I love the cute game box that doubles as part of the board. The game is quick and fun, but I found the instructions a bit unclear. We had a blast playing together, and I think it will be even better with more players."

"We purchased this game for our family of four, and I was impressed by the fantastic quality of the pieces and board. It felt a bit overwhelming at first, but we quickly figured it out. The cooperative strategy made it accessible for my younger child, and we all enjoyed it, though the final fight against the attic monster felt a bit easy."

"I bought Candyland as a nostalgic gift for Christmas, and it was an absolute hit! My nephew (age 3) was instantly hooked. We played round after round, and he kept asking to play it again and again. Watching his excitement every time he landed on a 'special' space was so much fun. The game is simple to understand, which made it perfect for a holiday family gathering. The bright colors and whimsical design kept him engaged. Highly recommend for young kids and families!"

"We purchased Candyland as a Christmas gift, and it has become a holiday family favorite! We've enjoyed countless hours of gameplay during the break. The price was excellent, and the timely delivery ensured it arrived perfectly in time for the holidays. I highly recommend it!"

"This game is fantastic for children. Teaches turn-taking and the colors are vibrant. It's always a nice fun game to play with children. It's a crowd pleaser!"

"Our family has played 10 different board games this Christmas, and this was THE BEST BY FAR! It’s clever, easy to play, and makes everyone think and laugh. I love the beautiful design!"

"I bought this game on a whim looking for something for 5 or more players. It arrived in good condition, but I found the gameplay a bit tricky at first. Still, we had a lot of fun, and it stimulates conversation nicely!"

"This game is a hit at parties! Good lighting is essential, and it’s best to learn with a friend first. It’s super easy to play, easily repeatable, and you can even add house rules for more fun!"

“My family absolutely loves this game! It's perfect for ages 8 and up and offers great value for money. It teaches deductive reasoning in a fun and simple way. The game is colorful and the characters are interesting, although sometimes it's a bit tricky to tell if someone has a mustache. I'd definitely buy it again and think it's a great gift idea.”

“The kids I work with really enjoy playing this game. I appreciate that it helps us develop executive functioning skills, problem-solving skills, and the process of elimination. It's also a fantastic way to teach them about communication and using descriptive words. Although the pictures need to be inserted into the game by us, it's not difficult to do. Just a heads up, the cards aren't made of sturdy cardstock, so we need to be careful.”

“This game arrived in excellent condition and was well-packaged. I know some people say it breaks easily, but I think that's just because the tiny cards can be tricky to assemble since the game is a bit delicate. Still, the colors on the cards may not match exactly with the pictures, but it doesn't affect gameplay. I personally enjoyed this game as a child and now I want to share it with the next generation. Those who are concerned about inclusion should know that this version is from the late 80s, and while newer versions are more inclusive, they have a more digital art style. This version has a more realistic art style that appeals to older audiences too.”

"I love this game! It's incredibly fun and well-made. The price is great, and its lightweight, foldable design makes it easy to take anywhere. We absolutely enjoy playing it!"

"I recently found Pressman Mancala, a game from my childhood, and introduced it to my husband. It quickly became our go-to game! The gameplay is simple yet strategic, which keeps it engaging. Playing Mancala has turned into a wonderful bonding experience for us, and it’s now a regular feature on our game nights!"

"I got this Mancala game as a gift for a friend who loves board games. Although I didn’t open it, I know it's a fun game suitable for various ages and perfect for family gatherings!"
