Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best board game for someone who's never played modern board games?
Catan and Codenames are the two best entry points. Catan teaches resource management, trading, and strategic thinking in an approachable package. Codenames works for any group size and requires zero board game experience to enjoy.
Are campaign board games worth the time commitment?
If you have a consistent group that can meet regularly, campaign games like Gloomhaven and Pandemic Legacy deliver an experience no other hobby can match. The story evolves with your decisions, and characters carry over between sessions. It's more like a TV series than a single movie.
How many board games should I own?
Quality over quantity. Five games you play regularly will bring more joy than fifty gathering dust. Start with one party game, one strategy game, and one cooperative game, then expand from there based on what your group enjoys most.
