Best Board Games to Try Out in the upcoming 2021

While video games have become more popular in recent years, they haven’t eliminated the love people have for board games. Even decades after they have been released, you can still get a ton of enjoyment from board games. There are thousands of different games out there, so no matter your interests, there is something for you.

Some help you work together, others force you to compete and some have several different ways they can be played. You might have played all of the classics, but there are likely some incredible ones you haven’t played yet. With that in mind, this article is going to go over a few of the best board games to try out in 2021.

Dungeons & Dragons

While it is far from new, Dungeons & Dragons is a game you certainly need to try out. The game has seen millions of players over the decades it has been around. However, there are plenty of people who haven’t been able to enjoy what the game has to offer. It is a fantasy tabletop RPG (role-playing game) where a group of players goes on an adventure together.

Everyone creates their own character, has specific stats, and some special skills that can aid in their adventures. The game is incredibly open and it is up to the DM (dungeon master) to provide players with challenges, roadblocks, and obstacles to overcome on their journey. The game is often played in person but can be played online as well.

This game offers endless replayability and allows you to be incredibly creative at the same time. From choosing your character to choosing the right path to reach your destination, the game is full of a lot of different choices. Of course, don’t forget to pick up some premium dnd dice, figurines, and other accessories to truly take these games to the next level.

Pandemic

With the Covid-19 pandemic still ongoing, it seems like an appropriate time to (safely) try out this game with your family or close friends in your bubble. Pandemic is the ultimate cooperative board game where you work with other players to stop the spread of a disease. It takes a lot of teamwork, strategy, and sometimes even a little bit of luck.

It is easy to adjust how simple or difficult the game is, and every time you play it you will be faced with a different challenge. Will you try to assist the area currently struggling, or try to predict where the disease will travel next? There are several different strategies when it comes to playing the game and how you attempt to win and stop the disease from spreading. There have also been several additional versions and spin-offs which are worth a try, as well.

Wits and Wagers

While there are many incredible trivia-based board games, not everyone is a trivia master. If you want a trivia game that doesn’t require a ton of knowledge, look no further than Wits and Wagers. This game involves every participant or team writing down their number-based answer to a question that is selected and shared with everyone. Once the question is answered, everyone puts their answer face-up on the betting mat.

Next, each player will place bets on the answer that they think is the closest to the right answer without going over the right number. If you are confident in your guess, or someone else’s, you can bet a lot. On the other hand, if you’re not sure, maybe only betting a little is the right choice.

The winner is the person who has the most chips at the end of the game. It is very simple in terms of its rules, but can become very competitive and is a lot of fun. Also, the game has won a ton of awards over the years and is certainly worth a try if you have never played it before.

Any of these aforementioned board games are a great choice to try out in 2021. They can provide hours and hours of entertainment for you and your family or friends. Be sure to keep an eye out for new games, as there are always new board games being released into the world.
