We have all grown up playing board games like Monopoly, Scrabble, Cluedo, Snakes and Ladders, Ludo and many more, there are some new board games that are equally fun!
Board games industry has seen a resurgence. According to the BBC, industry forecasters predict the global board game market will be worth more than £9bn by 2023.
The Current recommends these three board games that you must try:
- Wits & Wager
This is an extremely fun party game. It is played in seven rounds. One trivia question is asked each round, and each player gives a numerical answer to every trivia question. Players simultaneously place their written answers to the trivia question on the betting mat, and then bet on the answer they believe is closest to the right answer but not over it. The house pays players who choose the correct answer based on the odds marked on the board. The player with the most chips after the seventh question is the winner.
2. Risk
Risk is a game of military strategy where you acquire and defend your territory from possible attacks or takeovers. According to Rave, this “dice-rolling war game hits themes of diplomacy and conquest and will go down in history as one of the most popular board games with a major fan base of enthusiasts”.
3. Trivial Pursuit
If you’re a trivia buff, this is the game for you. The object of the game is to move around the board by correctly answering trivia questions. Questions are split into six categories: Geography, Entertainment, History, Arts & Literature, Science & Nature and Sports. The game includes a board, playing pieces, question cards, a box, small plastic wedges to fit into the playing pieces, and a dice.
