The best games with square grid ◻️ 2023
Looking for a game that plays in a square grid ◻️? Then we have just the thing: The 30 best "square grid" games.
What are square grid games?
The game pieces, pieces or parts of the board are placed on a playing field mosaicked with square squares. This is used for laying pieces of the board against each other and/or placing or moving pieces. Probably the best known game with such a board is Chess, but newer games like Blokus Duo or The Isle of Cats also rely on such boards.
Distinction from hexagonal grid and movement of game pieces in the grid
To ensure a more precise distinction we have created two more categories. It should be noted that movement of game pieces and the arrangement of the game board itself should be distinguished:
