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.

Sushi Go. My family likes games that we can start quickly.
I would love to play Pandemic Legacy. I love the original but have never played this edition.
I have played and loved Codenames but I would really love to try out Legends of Andor and am extremely curious about the adults only Trivial Pursuit. My daughter collects Monopoly games and she doesn`t have the Game of Thrones version ……… yet!

Codenames sounds like a fun game for a house party. Drop Mix sounds like something our whole family would enjoy! Thanks, Best Buy!
I would like to try the Bob Ross game because I’m a huge fan of his painting series 🙂
Codenames looks like a great one that would appeal to a variety of people!
Monopoly is my favourite board game ever since I was a kid. I still love to play it to this day.
Code Names sounds interesting
I love Monopoly and Game of Thrones so combined they would be fun together
Sushi Go Party. I played Sushi Go with some friends and loved it. I would live to try the expanded game with friends and family!
Codenames. It looks like it would be a great game for parties even for people that say they hate games.
OK I am having a really hard time deciding – how about Fake News, or Code Names! either would be amazing . Alos the Drop mix. lol ok whatever I will take any game seriously – my family loves board games.
Definitely Bob Ross: The Art of Chill!
I would love to try Imhotep. I hear it’s a really great strategy game. And such amazing components!
Code Names!

I have played the original Sushi Go, would love to try the party version.
Would love to play Legends of Andor – I hear it’s great!
Must try Drop Mix.
878 Vikings
I really like the idea of team games and I think that this or another one from this series seems like a balanced yet opaque. I have a huge selection of other games on my list but it’s specifically the team mechanic that draws me to this one.
Bob ross so I can find another painting game that my non gamer artistic daughter will play.
Catacombs. I’ve been looking for a good dexterity game and I love dungeon crawlers so it should be right up my alley.
Machi Koro looks so interesting…would love to play this with my wife and daughter!
The art of Chill would be a lot of fun to play this summer but I like them all hard to pick just one
Game of Thrones Monopoly? THat sounds like fun
Imhotep looks like a great light and quick strategy game but with enough depth in it to make decisions really matter. Always looking forward to play a Spiel des Jahres Nominee.
Legend of andor look good
NMBR 9 looks like a fun game that anyone could play. Easy to teach is a big win in my book!.
Speak Out
I really want to try Mountains of Madness!
Trivial Pursuit X or speak out….always a good time!
Sushi Go Party because we love Sushi!
Bob Ross: The Art of Chill looks amazing! Big fan of Bob and his chill totally beats the summer heat!
I would love to win DropMix! I love playing board games and I’m looking for a new fun one for my summer game nights! Thanks very much for the contest and the great video!
Han Solo Monopoly woudl be my choice
So many fun sounding games. I’d love to try Drop Mix
Drop Mix! I’ve seen some of the music results online and it looks like such a fun game that you can either go really hard at or just casually experiment with. So many options! Endless play value.
