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.

I have Sushi Go and We love it!!!!!! We are not big TV people so we often sit around and play games with friends on the weekend, so I would love to try Sushi Go party! It looks awesome.
The characters are so cute and the game so easy to learn.
i have been wanting to buy Code Names.
I LOVE Pandemic! It’s also a great game to introduce to others who aren’t into board games yet.
I would honestly love to try any of these but definitely Bob Ross!! I absolutely love him and think it would be a blast!
Bob Ross rules!
Love to try Legends of Andor love these games. GLA
Bob Ross: The Art of Chill is the one game I definitely want to try.
My husband is a big Bob Ross fan (for the soporific effect of his voice).

I’d love the Imhotep game because it sounds like the kind of game my extremely smart grandkids would enjoy.
I really want to try pandemic. I love group strategy games.
Trivial Pursuit, because I’m intrigued by the adults only 😉

Would love to try codenames.
Codenames sounds awesome. I’ve always wanted to play it, but never had the chance.
We love board games. We try to get our granddaughter to play so she is not so much on the computer or the -phone playing games. I keeps the old minds active and the young ones smarter. Plus it also gives us quality time together.
Legends of Andor looks awesome! More recently our family has discovered the fun in unified strategy vs. Each man for himself!
We have board game nights on a regular basis. Its one of few activities that brings together the PC and console gamers and the “non”- gamers. A New addition is always exciting!!!
Sushi go party sounds fun
Game of Thrones Monopoly too
I love fantasy so I’d be excited to try Legends of Andor. My brother has Machi Koro at his house so my 5 year old son and I play it a lot when we’re visiting him so I’d love to have our own of that too!
Bob Ross: The Art of Chill Board Game because this sounds like a different kind of game and fun and i loved watching Bob Ross do his paintings on tv

Imhotep because I like strategy games
I’d like to try codenames. I absolutely enjoy word games!
Would love to try Legends of Andor – i’ve just always had a love for D&D style games. Always have a hard time finding people to play though! Thanks for the chance to win.
We started family game night 1.5 years ago so we’re always looking for more great games to play. Can’t wait to play CODENAME!
Code Names sounds like an exciting challenge.
Would love to try codenames. Love word games
Bob Ross Game of Chill – because who wouldn’t just want to chill out and play a game this summer?
