There are some board games here, they will become a fun board game night, and when you open them will also bring a visual shock.

Wingspan is a board game that serves as an entry point to introduce many players into the vast world of well-designed and more complex board games.

In this game, players play the role of bird lovers, and they all hope that their aviary will become the most attractive aviary. Each player will "collect" various birds by rolling custom dice to lure them with food, and then add them to their collection to earn points. This is a simple enough game for the whole family to learn, and at the same time intense enough for people to sit on the edge of their seats. The gameplay has a contemplative quality that usually surprises those who don’t know what will happen.

In addition, the art of the game is so gorgeous, it attracts everyone's attention by itself!

Oath: Chronicles of Empire & Exile was made by the same team behind Root. In this game, one to six players play the role of agents, trying to destroy a kingdom. Behind its exquisite artwork is a game full of political intrigue, betrayal and mistrust.

Players will play a vital hands-on role in the rise and fall of dynasties and make their own history. But whether the result is satisfactory to their character depends on the progress of the game and the decisions of other players around the table. This game seems to go beyond the limits of boxes and components, and will be a great gift for board game connoisseurs. Speaking of root...

Root is an absolutely cute game where players can control different factions of woodland creatures and compete for control of the wilderness. Despite its fascinating art, this is a complex game with a lot of strategic depth, designed for those who want to try games that are heavier than typical home games.

It has an asymmetrical war game experience, and each faction has its own abilities and victory conditions. This is not a fairy tale that everyone will feel warm. This is war. Think of the political competition of the Game of Thrones genre, but with a lot of doe eyes cute.

Everdell has a very compelling board. This is a good point for it, because people would think that the board in a board game should be the key focus of aesthetics and desktop existence.

The tree of eternity focuses the player's attention and overlooks the player. They can play cards, they can place their workers, and they strive to build the most beautiful and magnificent villages. Art is also irresistibly cute, which makes playing cards feel a little better.

This is a screen-building game, simple to get started, but complex enough, suitable for the whole family to participate.

Tokaido’s art works are clean, elegant, and elegant. The pastel colors have a comforting, almost meditative quality to them.

Thematically speaking, players are travelers who enjoy the scenery and rich journey on the Tokaido Highway. They collected a series of interesting experiences, such as food, new friends, admiring the scenery, visiting beautiful places and so on.

Although Tokaido is a non-combat-themed light game, it is a competitive fare. Players will indeed compete to see who will eventually become the person with the most diverse experience. However, the Zen-like work of art makes the game feel less adrenaline-driven, and the game is always enjoyable.

In Kanagawa, the player is a disciple of the painter Hokusai. They will construct a panorama composed of 13 cards, forming a series of watercolor artworks with the theme of Japan.

Cards not only have multiple functions in the game, but also a complete set of kaleidoscopes, regardless of the order of the cards, they will form a fully connected painting.

This is a lightweight family game that captures the feeling that your craft has become better, gradually handles more complex tasks, and has room to make more interesting decisions. In the end, it's as if the player has contributed to the amazing artwork of Kanagawa Prefecture.

In Azul, players take turns drawing beautiful tiles in order to make the most beautiful bathroom floor for the king.

This is a colorful, easy-to-use game. With randomly drawn tiles and players trying to match them to the colors on the board, Azul's fun does not come from trying to outdo or undermine other players.

Rather, it's about enjoying the process of making tile tiles and then seeing what other players have done. The game may encourage players to get as many points as possible, but simply arranging tiles in the most beautiful way is also a fun and effective way to approach Azul.

Mariposas is the second game designed by Wingspan designer Elizabeth Hargrave. Hargrave has a certain design sensitivity, which makes her games attract a very wide audience and arouses the desire to open the box and try the game.

A collection game that is divided into three seasons. The player's butterflies go north in spring, spread out in summer, and go south in autumn. The educational aspects of Mexican migratory butterflies are very naturally integrated into the game's mechanics and visual design. 

This is a simple game, an excellent gateway game to enter the wider world of board games.

In many board games, when the player wants to build cities, those cities are often abstracts that only exist in the imagination, or they are represented by cards. In Era: Medieval Age, players actually built a three-dimensional three-dimensional city.

Players roll dice, get resources, or disaster will befall them or their opponents. Finally, all players will have their own small city on the nail board, which is always a great moment to take pictures.

Era: Medieval Age is a fun and simple game that only takes a few minutes to get started and play.

Bristol 1350 is housed in a magnetic book box, which brings a sense of fantasy and mystery to it. The premise of the game is interesting. The player is a villager from Bristol trying to escape the plague.

There is a little cooperation, social interpretation, and strategy. All the time, every player has been selfishly trying to make himself safe as soon as possible.

This is a very unique game, especially considering its theme. The way the box is harmlessly placed on the shelf also gives it an extra cool factor.

In PARKS, players play the roles of a pair of hikers, exploring different trails in different seasons from 59 US national parks. Playing PARKS in an afternoon feels more like flipping through an art album, rather than actually playing a board game, where each player tries to surpass each other.

The art in the game is amazing, taken from posters originally used to commemorate many national parks. This is not a game that is full of tension and has players sitting on the edge of their seats. This is a relaxing and soothing game, very suitable for those who want to relax with friends and enjoy the gorgeous art provided by the game.

Imaginarium literally understands the "engine" part of the "engine building game". Players collect resources to build machines that produce more resources in order to build better machines that produce more resources.

In order to compete for the components, players scramble to complete the project assigned by the design room to obtain victory points and win the game. Although a little more complicated than ordinary family board games, it is definitely a game that is easy to pick up and start playing without any fuss.

Packaged with beautiful steampunk aesthetics, this is a game that makes people feel good, just to see and enjoy more art.

In Sagrada, players make beautiful stained glass windows by drawing dice of different colors into a grid. The placement of the dice will be limited by the number displayed on the dice and the allowed color combinations. In addition, dice of the same number or color cannot be placed side by side.

This means that in each game, players will use different dots and color splashes to form different dice mosaics. This is a friendly family game. Although there are scoring factors, Sagrada can also be regarded as a lightweight art and craft project that can tap the player's creativity.

These are just some visually compelling games. You can find more content in places like Amazon. The above mentioned is just an example of the sheer beauty that board games can provide. In terms of gameplay and complexity, scope means that it is absolutely suitable for everyone. Perhaps one of these games can be given to your friends and inspire undiscovered board game geeks in it.
