There's nothing quite like gathering a group around a table and letting a good board game do the rest. I love them all, from quick party games that get everyone laughing to gateway games that pull you deeper and deeper into rich worlds and storytelling. Below are the games I own and genuinely enjoy playing, and you can click through on any of them to BoardGameGeek.com, a wonderful rabbit hole of a site with all the detail you could ever want.
