Have you ever found yourself trying to find a good gift but don’t know where to start? Well I always say that there is a board game for everyone and its my goal to help you find the perfect one. Whether it be for a child, sibling, friend, parent or other, I believe that you can find a great board game by asking yourself a few simple questions.
Who would they be playing with?
How many board games do they own (if any)?
Do they want a board game that’s easy to learn or want a more complicated game?
Would they prefer a cooperative experience or a competitive one?
Can they get good replay value from the game?
These questions are good starting points to go off from because they narrow down the type of game you are looking for.

Most games have a varying age bracket, and you can use them as a rough guide for what game will be good.
