Full Board Gaming

24/11/2025

Very positive mentions about board games, gaming cafes and conventions on BBC Breakfast this morning, but the actual games they name check are Cluedo and Scrabble.

Now Cluedo and Scrabble have each sold 150 million+ copies, and Monopoly almost 300 million over many decades, so they are firmly in the public mind. But there are so many better modern style games out there.

What's your absolute favourite game from the last twenty years?

I'm not at the stage of selling Merch yet, but I am glamming up the core team that support us all at our events. What do you think of these? The Logo seems to pop best on the grey.
