The best board game classics🏛 of all time 2022
It doesn't always have to be something new. There are enough board games that were already good in old times like the 1990s, 1980s or before. We have listed these board game classics for you here. Of course, card games like Poker, dice games like Perudo and board games like Backgammon, Scrabble or Rummikub are in our list - but who would have thought that Wizard for example dates back to 1984?
Classic does not necessarily mean good
Other classics like Monopoly, Game of Life, Malefiz or Pachisi didn't make it into our list of classics - the games from earlier times listed here simply offer much more fun.
