15 Classic Board Games That Are Actually Still Super Fun

You're never too old for a classic board game. Pulling out the Monopoly box and uncorking a bottle of wine can be a truly chill way to spend a rainy afternoon with friends—as long as you leave your competitive pals off the invite list.

And while new games like What Do You Meme are certainly fun, there's something so sweet and nostalgic about diving into one of the classics. (Though if you're looking for board games for adults only, we got those, too.) You remember playing The Game of Life with your parents when you were a kid, right? Now that you're a grownup, you can truly understand the pressure to get married, ha...ha...ha!

But seriously, it’s important to dabble in activities that don't involve rotating through your Netflix roster. Give your eyeballs a break from the screen, girl! And what about when you're hanging with your family over the holidays and you need a PG topic to distract them from asking about a) your relationship status b) who you plan to vote for in 2020 or c) both? I personally need a lot of material to keep my blood relatives preoccupied. Whatever, the point is, the classics are good, and they’ll always be good, no matter the circumstance.

From Candy Land and Uno to Scrabble and Mancala, here are the best classic boards that still deliver loads of fun today. Psst! If you're like, "Shoot, I love games so much, I wanna play something on my next date night," check out the best two-person games over here.
