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 would love to try the Dropmix game as I usually play games with my teen daughter and teens love music. Thanks for winning opportunity!
Bring me the fro of Bob Ross!
I’m into all those types of board games, but the Bob Ross one would be amazing!!
Sushi Go Party – It sounds like fun!
Codenames! I’ve played it once before and loved it! I would love to own it to play with my family because family game nights always brings new and great memories with my family 🙂
Legends of Andor sounds fun, I’d like to try it out.
Sushi Go sounds fun and the pictures are too cute. My children would love this.
Codenames sounds cool! ☺️
I would love to own codenames. Played at a pub before at a work outing and we all had a blast.
Legends of Andor – although I love all games and would be happy to play any of them, this is one that I have not tried before. I like that it’s adventure and cooperative. That way all skill levels can play because we can work as a team instead of individuals.
I would like the Junk Art Board Game – it looks like a fun, fast game that the whole family can play.
Imhotep looks like fun
I’d love to try Dropmix; I love music and being able to make some sounds fun.
Code Names sounds interesting. I’d love to play that one!
Code names. It sounds interesting
Would love to try Sushi Go Party. My son saw it at a friend’s house & we’re eager to try it.
I would love to try legends of Andor. I like the name and the idea of it
I would like to play Imhotep. Very into strategy games right now!
I love the idea of the updated trivial pursuit X – especially the forehead stamps at a party!
Any of the Monopoly games, as our board has been damaged/missing pieces a long time ago and would like to get back in to it.
I would love to try Sushi Go Party this summer because I love eating sushi, and the game is so cute!
sushi go party would be coool
I would love the Art of Chill for a weekly Crafts & Games group I voluntarily co-facilitate.
I’ll go with Codenames ; it’s got to be good if it’s been voted one of the best games to come out in the last ten years.
I think Imhotep is a game my son and I could get into. We like that time period.
Scrabble Luxury Edition!!
I think the adult version of Trivial Pursuit would be a hoot to play with our friends around the campfire.
CodeNames looks like fun. Would love to try that!
Imhotep! I love strategy games.
Codenames. I’m curious to try a new game
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Sushi Go. I heard it’s a super fun, quick paced game. I love those kinds of games. My family is really into Pitt and I think this could be just as fun, especially on a rainy cottage day!
I would love to try Codenames. I love party games, and this one requires a bit of linguistic prowess. I’ve seen this played by Wil Wheaton on Table Top, and it looks like a lot of fun!
Bob Ross: The Art Of Chill. I mean who doesn’t want to play a Bob Ross game haha.
•Machi Koro
CodeNames – would love to try this!
I would love to try NMBR9. I have never heard of it but the video made it sound awesome. I love puzzle games.
I’d like to win the Han Solo monopoly because I’m a big Star Wars fan
Any of these games would be great
I would love to try sushi go party. I bet it’s lots of fun!!
I would love CodeNames….bought as a gift but don’t own it.
I love Sushi Go and have been wanting to try Sushi Go Party!
I would love codenames! Thats our favourite party game!
Would love the sushi go party!!! Looks like fun.
All worth it just for the Bob Ross Game; RIP happy little cloud.
Would love to play The art of chill. Thanks so much for the chance!
codenames sounds like it would work for everyone, even those who aren’t game night folks!
Thanks for the chance
I’d like to win Codenames. My husband and I love to play board and card games with my daughter and her fiance when they visit us. I think we’d all enjoy this one!
I have been hearing about sushi go party, so I would love to win that one the most.
Legends of andor sounds like fun
