Board games aren’t equal. There, we’ve said it! While for some, Snakes and Ladders might be the pinnacle of board game entertainment, nothing beats the glory of a strategy game for us. It’s just something so thrilling about them! Okay, nerd-like thrilling with all the planning and scheming and whatnot, but nonetheless. And, if you agree with us, we think you’ll enjoy our list of the best strategy board games to date!
What will you find in this list full of strategy board games? Well, for starters, the father of them all – chess! Yup, same old good old chess. And, if you’re more into games with actual narrative (although we bet that you can also make up a narrative for chess, hands down), you’ll find such gems as Catan, Carcassonne, and Ticket to Ride here, too. Oh, and Risk did also make it to our list of best board games; how could it not?! Actually, there are so many good strategy board games listed here that you’ll never think about the family-ruining, feud-inducing Monopoly ever again. Although we admit it, it also made it to this list. But hey, you can give your likes to the other cool board games, so this thing of evil never finds its way to the top spot of this list!
