Looking to buy a gift for the board or tabletop game lover in your life? Well-thought-out gifts that consider what a person loves will always be well received, and board game enthusiasts are no different.
But what do you buy for a person who loves to play games? The key is to understand what they already have, what they need and want, and how they enjoy playing. This personal touch can open up the right options for you to choose a gift they truly love. And if you’re still in need of inspiration, here are some ideas to get you started.
A Table
Board game lovers need a decent table to play at and keep their game setup to play whenever they’re ready. A Board Game Table can vary in size and style, and you can create a custom table or opt for add-ons and extras such as drinks holders, drawers, and shelving around the outside. Bespoke options can come with built-in lighting and a whole range of features that can make gameplay easier and more accommodating, thanks to the clever, thought-out designs and features.
Dice Rolling Tray
No one enjoys the dice hunt under the table or resetting the board, thanks to overzealous throwing. A dice tray provides a convenient solution, giving you a designated place to aim your dice when you roll them and preventing them from getting lost or ruining the game. It’s a game-changer in more ways than one.
Pencils
Players understand the need for good-quality stationery; pencils are integral to many games. Whether it’s taking notes, wiring down strategies and tactics, or keeping score, pencils can be a valuable resource. But not just any pencil. By investing in high-quality pencils that can keep up with gameplay and not break when you need to use them, you’re showing that you’ve considered every aspect of their gaming experience.
Scratch Off Posters
If the board game lover in your life doesn’t have a favorite game, they like to play and wants to try as many games as they can, a scratch-off poster with the top 100 board games they need to try cna be a great gift and give them something to work towards.
The poster will have 100 different board games on it, and when you complete it, you scratch it off until you have uncovered all of them.
Classic Sets
If your player is a collector, finding classic versions of the game or original editions in great condition can be an extra special gift. For example, finding the first edition book of D&D can
help them build a collection of all the different versions; the same goes for Monopoly too.
Merch
Lastly, merchandise related to their favorite board games can be fun gifts they can use outside of the game. It can be anything from clothing or bedding to artwork, mugs, phone cases, backpacks, and so on. If they really love a specific board game or are game fans in general, finding novelty gifts bearing logos, phrases, or common sayings related to the games can be a great gift.
