Quoridor
Race your pawn to the opposite side of the board while placing wooden fences to slow your opponent — every fence you place can be countered, making this abstract game a brilliant spatial puzzle.
Qwirkle
Build lines of tiles that share a colour or shape — never both — scoring points for every tile in a completed line, with a Qwirkle bonus for completing a full set of six in a row.
Race for the Galaxy
Simultaneously choose phases — explore, develop, settle, produce, consume — and reveal them together, building a galactic civilisation from tableau cards with a steep learning curve but incredibly deep strategy.
Mancala
One of the world's oldest strategy games — sow stones around a row of pits, capturing as many as possible in your store, in a deceptively simple yet deeply strategic two-player duel.
Monopoly
Buy properties, build houses and hotels, collect rent from rivals, and bankrupt every opponent to win — the world's best-known board game of capitalism, negotiation, and ruthless real estate.
Nine Men's Morris
Players alternately place and move nine pieces on a grid to form rows of three called mills, removing an opponent's piece each time a mill is formed until the enemy has none left.
Othello
Place black and white discs on an eight-by-eight board and flip your opponent's pieces by trapping them between yours — the player with the most discs when the board fills wins.
Hanabi
A cooperative card game with a twist — you hold your cards facing away from you, relying on clues from teammates to play firework cards in the correct order without making too many mistakes.
Hive
A two-player abstract game with no board — surround your opponent's Queen Bee using heavy Bakelite insect tiles, each with unique movement rules, in an ever-shifting hexagonal hive.
