Classic Board Games That Everyone Can Enjoy
Whether it is dominoes, chess, or snakes and ladders, there are countless classic board games perfect for your next social gathering.
One vs One
Chess – The classic game that everyone has played, Chess is still one of the best games to play against a partner. With countless strategies available as every player employs their own tactics, Chess is endlessly replayable as you devise different techniques for each new match. While many games have tried to iterate on the original concept, Chess remains the champion of 1 vs 1 board games.
Guess Who? – The guessing game that has entertained players for generations, Guess Who remains a favourite. The easy-to-understand game sees both players choosing a character that they don’t reveal to their opponent. They then take turns asking yes or no questions about the character, such as if they have brown hair or are wearing a hat, until they can guess the other player’s character. Quick, simple, and fun for the whole family.
Battleship – For those wanting to feel like a Navy captain, Battleship allows players to launch torpedoes at each other until one’s fleet has been sunk. With both players given a handful of ships, they take turns aiming at squares on the board until they score a hit. The simple game made with plastic boards and pegs has been igniting sibling rivalries for decades.
Family Fun
Snakes & Ladders – The classic game that has entertained families all over the world, Snakes & Ladders is easy to learn for people of all ages. As everyone starts on the same tile, they take turns rolling the dice to try and reach the end first. But look out for those pesky snakes that will move you backwards, while using the handy ladders to your advantage to move ahead of the pack. Multiple versions of the game exist, with each adding new twists on the formula, but the classic original remains the best.
Monopoly – The game responsible for more relationship breakdowns than any other, Monopoly remains a favourite thanks to its classic gameplay. As players move around the board collecting money and properties, they compete against each other to avoid bankruptcy. Countless variations of Monopoly exist, from The Simpsons to Star Wars, meaning there is a Monopoly game for everyone to enjoy.
Jenga – Those looking for a game that is easy to transport around for those nights away, Jenga sees players taking turns pulling blocks from a stacked tower. With each removed block bringing the tower closer to toppling over, the one who brings it all crashing down is declared the loser.
