Board Game Gift Guide 2023
20.11.2023 - 14:25 / boardgamequest.com
As the weather turns cold, the days shorten, and the smell of pumpkin spice fills your nostrils you know what time it is. That’s right, the holiday season is upon us. And with Black Friday just around the corner, the shopping season is here as well. And since everyone knows board games make the best gifts (we looked it up, it’s a scientifically proven fact), you might be wondering where to start.
Well the BGQ team is here to help with that. We’ve consulted with Santa, tinkered with the elves, lit the candles and have prepared our annual Board Game Gift Guide. Whether you are shopping for the picky euro gamer or a plastic-loving thematic gamer, we’ve got a recommendation for you. Happy shopping!
Every year we try to start off the guide with the classics. These are games that have not only made their mark on our hobby, but have stood the test of time. If you are not sure where to start, any of these gems would make the perfect gift. They have been enjoyed by millions of gamers and are readily available in most major stores.

Pandemic is one of the most popular cooperative board games and has long since become a staple in every gamer’s collection. Pandemic is easy to learn and very challenging to win, which helps give the game high replay value. It has also inspired a number of thematic offshoots should you be looking for more Pandemic options.
Catan (review)
Catan is the granddaddy of board games and is probably most Americans’ first experience with a “Eurogame.” In this game of trading and construction, players must build up their settlements and roads by using the island’s five resources. The game features very easy-to-learn mechanics and a healthy dose of player interaction via the importance of trading resources. Catan is a game that every gamer will probably play at least once and is one of the ultimate “gateway games.”
7 Wonders (review)
7 Wonders is a fantastic card game that introduced players to the card drafting (pick and pass) genre. In 7 Wonders, after you select your card, you then pass your remaining hand of cards to the player sitting next to you. The gameplay is unique, it has a quick
