Our 14th year of Board Game Gift Guides is here!

We know that’s a lot to look through, so we’ve dialed it back a bit this year to 25 great games!
Below, you’ll find a few games in each of the following categories to get your juices flowing about what game gifts you can give this year.

I had a fantastic first weekend of March because I was hanging out and playing tons of games with my friends at SaltCon Spring 2022!
I look forward to this 4-day gaming event with much anticipation every year. And it was especially great this year because the air was finally clearing around the Covid pandemic. Which means we could see the smiling faces of the 1,700 or so people who came out to play all sorts of games.
This year I was able to attend 3 full days of the event and played 22 different board games, card games, and dice games!
It was a lot of fun and I’m ready to share my thoughts on each of the games I played.
(Consider it like a bunch of mini-reviews.)

Once February rolls around, I get a little anxious.
It’s not because I don’t know what to get my sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. But rather because I can hardly wait for SaltCon in just a few weeks!
SaltCon is a board game convention in Salt Lake City, Utah for anyone who enjoys playing games. And it keeps getting bigger every year.
For me it means 3 steady days of playing tons of games and reconnecting with tons of friends. So I can’t wait!
