Summer time is almost here (okay, let’s all agree that it is here), so what better time to head inside and play some board games? Some of you might not be as board game focused as I am, as I’ll never turn down an opportunity to play some board games, but the summer is still a great time to get your game on, even if it is after a day out in the sun! What else are you going to do at the cabin (cottage for those east of Alberta), trailer, or even in your own home in the evening?
What’s that? You don’t have many games to play? Well, you’ve stumbled upon the perfect contest then, haven’t you? Best Buy’s Plug-in Blog is giving away oodles of top quality board games! Now, I’m not just saying they’re great games and then actually giving away board games based off of 1990s TV shows—no, these are legitimately awesome games.
Here are some examples of the great games you could be playing this summer
- Sushi Go Party is the big brother to the awesome small box game of Sushi Go (which I talked about in this article that I wrote recently on the blog, here).
- Fog of Love is in the top 1000 games of all time on boardgamegeek.com.
- Machi Koro is a great “gateway” game that’s easy to teach and fun to play (which I talked about here).
- Imhotep is a clever strategy game (I talk about its variability in setup here).
- Legends of Andor is an awesome adventure game (which I talk about here).
- Bob Ross: The Art of Chill is a great and accessible game about painting with Bob Ross (and will be featured in my next video review, coming soon to the Best Buy Blog).
- Codenames is one of the top 10 games to come out in the last 10 years (which I talk about in my article about “How to host the perfect game night“).
- Dropmix is a super addictive music making game, as you will learn if you watch this video review that I recently did on the Best Buy blog:
And then we throw in a couple of Monopoly games for the traditionalists (Han Solo Monopoly, and Game of Thrones Monopoly), an adults-only Trivial Pursuit game, and some party games (Speak Out and Fake News)! What more do you want? Oh, you want the rules on how to win? Right.

My family and I love to do puzzles together. I am thinking that CodeNames or the Legends of Andor would be a good fit for us.
I am looking to have an adventure and “Legends of Andor” will do the trick.
Legends of Andor for me as I love adventure.
I would really love to win Dropmix. I think my son would absolutely love this game. And being that he loves his computer and music, it would be wonderful to play this game with him. Autistic kids love games 🙂
Machi Koro, because we really do need a good “gateway” game 🙂
I’d like to try Bob Ross the art of chill, because I have no idea at all what a painting game would be like. I’m interested to find out!
Legends of Andor sound like a D & D type of board game that sounds like a lot of fun. We are crazy board game players and we take 1 night a week to sit around the tale and just play.
I would like to play Bob Ross: the Art of Chill with my family because we all used to watch his show growing up in the 90’s and loved it!
I want to try Sushi Go Party!
Drop Mix sounds like a really different type of game to have some weekend fun with…music, I AM IN – thanks so much for the chance to win! 🙂
SushiGoParty so I could play with my daughter. WE love playing board games together.
I would like to try Code Names because I love word games and it sounds fun.
Dropmix. Music making game? Sounds interesting
Machi Koro – looks like fun- we are big fans of Ticket to Ride, Catan, Civilization etc, and even bigger fans of getting our kids off screens – so right up our alley. Also saw Pandemic; Legacy in your video – only one of the series we don’t have yet!
Sushi Go Party looks like a fun game for everyone
Sushi Go Party because it looks like a fun game to play with the kids.
Bob Ross: The Art of Chill. Because Bob Ross is a Boss.
Sushi Go Party because it looks like a great game to play with my kids.
I would love to try Imhotep as it seems different and like something I could enjoy with a small group.
I’d like to try Legends of Andor because it’s an adventure game.

All the games look fun to play. But I’m really interested in Sushi go.
RPGs like what I assume Legends of Andor is are my kind of game.
