Best Board Games for Holiday Gatherings

Board games are an interesting way to spend time with your friends and family. Here we have listed the best board games for your next party or event to enjoy some quality time with your near and dear ones. 

Bananagrams

Bananagrams is the favorite game of thousands of children but is fun for adults too, due in part to the quick decision-making gameplay mechanics. You can take it with you for holiday gatherings, as it is portable and comes in a cool banana shaped bag. 

This game is exciting because of its crossword involving all of the letters.

You can “dump” one and put it back in the pile (but you have to pick three back up), and when someone is done with their crossword, everyone has to pick up one more.

The game tests your patience and ability at the end when you have to place a Q into your crossword.

Carcassonne

Carcassonne is regarded as one of the best Eurogames out there. It involves simple rules and quick turns. However, it is a strategy game and maintains the interest of all players. In Carcassonne, you have to build the board by using the tiles from a bag while placing new ones nearby to the tiles on the board, lining up roads or cities as permitted, and sometimes placing one of your wooden tokens, called “meeples,” to control your areas.

You score as you get control on the roads and cities. You can secure more areas with smart tile placement and meeple management. 

Donkey

Donkey is a card game in which you pick a card from the person sitting beside you to make a pair without getting a donkey card. The person with donkey card ends up as being the loser. It is perfect game to pass the time during holiday parties and family events. It is suitable for players of every age.

Dobble

Dobble is great group game. There are many ways to play it. Generally, the cards are distributed between the players, and there is one in the middle. The aim of the game is to get the symbol on your card matching the card in the middle before your opponent. The player having no cards left is simply the winner of the game.

Dominion

Dominion is the best seller and gave birth to the new variety of board-less games known as “deckbuilders.” You need to collect cards for deck building, and on each turn, you get five cards, play what you can from your hand, buy one or more new cards, and discard everything from that turn. 

These are great games to play with friend and family. And they are not that expensive and are available at many physical stores and online retailers.
