The 10 Greatest Board Games You Haven't Played This Year

Before you get stuck playing Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit with your family over the holidays make sure you check out one of these games!


1. King of Tokyo


1. King of Tokyo


Why you should play it: Essentially Godzilla on steroids, you assume control of a monster and play "King of the Hill" against your friends to see who can hold Tokyo the longest. Add crazy power ups (poison tail, toxic cloud) and some excessively fun to roll huge dice and you have a game that can appeal to a large group of people without taxing them mentally.


Players: 2-6 (2-8 with expansion sets)


Difficulty: Easy


Who to play it with: Precocious nephews and nieces, your cousins who won't leave their bedrooms.

2. Libertalia


2. Libertalia


Why you should play it: Pirates! Everyone loves pirates and everyone likes collecting booty. Even more fun that loot is taking it away from your friends. Highly tactical, immensely competitive and a nice new take on the pirate genre.



Players:
2-6


Difficulty: Easy



Who to play it with:
Your fellow buccaneers, your aunt who gave you that crappy sweater for Christmas, anyone who gave anyone socks.
