Finding games…
How our board game matcher works
We match games on how they actually play: mechanics, theme, complexity and playing time. The data comes from BoardGameGeek, and we then show you only what’s on our shelves. Pick “Just me” and solo-only games come first. Pick “Two of us” and dedicated two-player games lead the way.
Games like Catan, Ticket to Ride and Wingspan
Loved a modern classic? Type it in and we’ll find games we stock that share what you enjoyed. Our database covers over 1,500 of the most popular titles, and this option gives the closest matches on mechanics, genres and themes.
Two-player, solo and co-op board games
Looking for a game for date night, something to play by yourself, or a co-op where everyone wins or loses together? Use “Who is playing” and the mechanics filters to narrow it down. You can also browse our 2 Player and Solo collections.
Family, party and strategy games
From light, quick party games to big-brain strategy campaigns, set “How much brainpower?” and “(How long) I’d like to play for…” to find the right fit. Playing with a crowd? Try our Party Games for 7 or more players.
