Father’s Day – Dad’s New Favorite Games

The Board Game Family — Cheers to all great dads everywhere!

This coming weekend is Father’s Day.

It’s the day we give a big shout out to fathers everywhere.

Kudos to all the great dads out there who are doing their best to raise their children to be solid contributors in the world.

In years past, I’ve taken time over Father’s Day to write sentimental posts about my own father and the joy of being a dad.

Well, this year, I’m going to skip all that stuff and give you an updated list of my favorite games!

And chances are, if you’re looking for a board game gift for yours or any other dad, then this list is what you’re after.

In 2012, I listed my Top 14 Best Board Games list.

But since then, I’ve played a ton more games and have added many more to my favorites list. So when I purged games from our game shelves after Christmas, it gave me a change to reorganize the shelves with my favorites (old and new) taking prominent spots.

Here’s my favorites list from 2012: (click on the game name to see our full reviews)

Memoir '44 board game — Memoir ’44 and Dominion still top dad’s favorite games list.

And here are 18 more board games and card games I’ve played and added to my favorites list since then: (we’ve reviewed most, but some reviews are still to come)

Gravwell board game — You bet Gravwell makes dad’s favorite games list.

RoboRally board game — With all the robot chaos, is it any wonder why RoboRally is on dad’s favorites list.

Of course there were also a few games that I put on a “runner up” list when I originally posted my favorites list in 2012. But 7 Wonders, YINSH, and Roll Through the Ages really should have been on the list to begin with.

There are just SO many great board games out there to play with your friends and family.

If you’re planning to give dad another copy of Monopoly for Father’s Day, then you better think again.

Even if you just randomly select one of the games listed above, your father will be very pleased.

Go dads!
