For nights in when you want proper laughs, sharper decisions, and a little mischief, our collection of adult board games is curated for over-18s.
Think pub-night energy without the queue: real conversation across the game board, honest rivalry with your opponent, and that sweet moment you roll the dice and everything clicks.
If you fancy a modern strategy game with clean gameplay, a cheeky social bluff-off, or a clever word game, you’re in the right place.
You’ll find grown-up staples that play brilliantly in the UK: table-talk tension from cooperative hits like Pandemic, smooth engines from deck building favourites like Dominion or Splendor, and welcoming modern classics—Catan (for Settlers fans), Ticket to Ride (a Days of Wonder gem), Carcassonne, Dixit, Lords of Waterdeep.
Maybe you do prefer familiar comforts? Pull out Scrabble, Trivial Pursuit, Yahtzee, Pictionary, Jenga, dominoes, chess, checkers, backgammon, or even the ever-chaotic Monopoly game. Open the box, lift the rulebook, grab the tokens, pawns, game pieces, and get stuck in—tabletop fun that’s easy to start, hard to stop, and made for two player face-offs or lively multiplayer get-togethers.
This is grown-ups’ family game night—without the kids.
