Ars Staff-December 3, 2021 at 12:00 PM UTC

It's that time of the year again-it's time to buy more board games than you might have time to play.

To help you complete the task, we have once again updated this year’s large board game buyer’s guide, adding new entries (including a series of games in 2020 and 2021), trimming some old entries, and making the content match our current idea. The list is divided into sections that cater to different audiences, and we think there is something for everyone—even those who don’t know they like board games.

Whether you want to start your next obsession with cardboard, or you need a gift idea for a weird cousin who is always keen on "efficient resource trade routes", you have come to the right place.

Aaron Zimmerman, Nate Anderson, Keith Law, and Tom Mendelsohn contributed to this guide.
