Top board games online store? King of Tokyo has been a longtime favorite family board game in our house because it’s easy to pick up (even for younger players), quick to play and still strategically satisfying. Each player takes control of a monster — think Godzilla or King Kong — and attempts to control Tokyo on the central game board. What ensues is a fun and often hilarious game of dice-rolling (imagine Yahtzee, but using dice with claws, energy bolts and points on them), aggressive play and chaotic attempts to wrest control of Tokyo from your competitors. The game ends when only one monster remains alive, or when someone reaches 20 points. It’s simple, but endlessly fun, even in a mixed crowd.

Its namesake may be long gone, but Blockbuster: The Game is still the life of the party. This movie quiz is fast-paced and surprisingly brutal, but it’s never unfair. In fact, it’s the best board game for get-togethers by quite a long way. Its accessibility has a lot to do with that. Namely, you don’t need to be a film buff to play. As it says on the (very cool) VHS box, Blockbuster is a “movie game for anyone who has ever seen a movie”. No in-depth knowledge is required, and that makes it so much more approachable than other trivia games. The gameplay is solid as a rock, too. Up to eight players are divided into teams, and each side’s objective is to collect a deck of ‘genre’ cards. Yet this isn’t a traditional quiz. It round begins with a one-on-one challenge where you’re handed a category (e.g. “spy films”) and must take it in turns to yell out an example as quickly you can. You then reset the 15-second timer. Whoever can’t think of anything within that time loses. Which is important, by the way – the winner gets to pick six movie cards for ‘Triple Charades Jeopardy’. This is where both players from the head-to-head act out, quote, and describe three of those cards for their team. The trouble is, they only have 30 seconds to do it. That’s why winning part one is so important; you can keep the easy cards for yourself and saddle your opponents with the hardest ones. It’s deliciously evil.

Jaipur is made only for two players, and it pits you against each other perfectly by creating an almost Prisoner’s Dilemma-like system where you have to decide whether to go for speed or quality. It’s a trading game: there are cards in the middle of the table you can pick up, and if you collect enough matching-colour cards, you can trade them for tokens with points values on. But how many matching cards should you collect before trading? Whoever trades a colour first gets higher-value tokens. But if you trade a larger number of cards in one go, you get special bonus tokens with big points of their own, on top of the regular tokens. So, can you afford to spend one more turn collecting another couple of cards and going for the big payout? Or will your opponent nip in first and leave you with the leftovers? Some colours’ tokens are worth much more than others too (and there are fewer of them), so do you both compete for the same high-value stuff or do you go for more of the lower-value cards your opponent is ignoring? Even seemingly easy wins can be tight decisions: there are only five cards in the middle of the table to take from at any time, and if three greens come out, you might think that’s a great bonus for you… but those three will be replaced with something as soon as you take them, and what if it’s something more valuable that you leave open to the other player?
