Last week we received the annual Holiday Gift Guide mailer from a great board game store in our area – Game Night Games.

I always love seeing what they include in their mailer and this year they included a number of Top 5 Games lists. So I thought it would be great to share their recommendations.

Why? Because this is their “day job”.

They’re dealing with customers every day, all day and they know what people are most interested in buying and playing. So it’s always a fun activity to see what they list.

Hip, hip, hooray – it’s time for our annual Board Game Gift Guide!

It’s time to start your game buying for Christmas and we’re here to help.

With the Christmas shopping rush upon us, it’s best to be prepared with fantastic board game and card game gift ideas for your friends and family.

And that’s where our Board Game Gift Guide can help!

But rather than just take our word for it, this year we thought it would be a great idea to list out the games that have won Game Of The Year!

There are a few sources we could point to for Game of the Year. We often share the Game of the Year as voted on by game reviewers around the world through The Dice Tower Awards.

But there’s also another reliable source for Game of the Year each year and that’s the Spiel des Jahres.
