Modern board games have grown far beyond the old classics. If you or a friend enjoy a game that rewards planning, there is a rich choice. Here are some that we stock, with a note on who each suits.
Catan
A gateway into modern strategy games. Players gather resources, trade and build settlements. It is a social game that can be learned quickly and suits groups of three to four.
Ticket to Ride: Europe
A light strategy game about collecting cards and claiming railway routes across Europe. It is easy to learn and suits a mixed group.
Wingspan: Asia
A beautiful engine-building game about birds. It is calm, with a lot of replay value and it is good for those who enjoy nature and puzzles. This Asia edition is suitable for those who know the game and for new players, too.
Everdell
Build a woodland city with cards and workers. It has lovely art and a medium level of complexity.
Terraforming Mars
A heavier game about making Mars habitable. It rewards planning, and suits experienced players who like long, deep strategy games.
Brass: Birmingham
An economic strategy game set in the industrial revolution. It is among the best-loved heavy strategy games, and it suits experienced gamers who enjoy deep planning. It is not for first-time players.
Choosing as a gift
For a beginner, choose Catan or Ticket to Ride. For a gaming friend who knows the basics, Wingspan or Everdell. For an experienced gamer, Terraforming Mars or Brass: Birmingham.
A tip
Check the recommended player count and playing time before you buy, as some of these games need two hours or more.
