This weekend in the CSRA we are going to see some record-low temperatures and staying inside is going to be the best plan you can have. Why not put something in the crock pot and play some of the top board games of all time.
I think you will find it nearly impossible to go to someone’s home and while you are there someone is gonna say let’s play a game. On average each home in America owns between 1 and 25 board and card games. According to Statista.com, The Board Games market is projected to reach 2.12 billion dollars by the end of 2024. Now while board games are still on the rise, we are also seeing versions of board games showing up in the app stores.
Yahoo Finance recently created the top board games of all time. It’s one of the hardest forms of entertainment to break into. There are more than 5000 new board games to hit the market every year. With a number like that, we know they can’t all be hits. With 5000 being released a year, you’d have to play 14 games a day to just try the 5000 released. So this again backs up why so few new board games are successful

#7-Operation
This was my all time favorite board game as a kid. I can remember playing this game for hours at a time or until the batteries died. Then fuss because we did have and “C” batteries in the house. Why batteries, we these games did have a power cord!
Here is a picture of me at Christmas around 7 or 8 years of age proudly displaying my operation.
