10 Board Games You Must Play During Isolation

10. Ticket To Ride

Buy It Here.

If someone were to come up to me and say "Hey want to play this game about setting up railtransport?" I would normally respond with something along the lines of "No thanks I actually like the embrace of other people" HOWEVER after actually playing Ticket To Ride I have to say, this game makes building railways hilariously fun.

Each player attempts to build specific routes dictated by the tickets they draw each round, and while the board might look initially complex it's incredibly simple to get to grips with and accessible for all ages to enjoy. It's a game that gives out what the group is willing to put in, meaning you can have a game that's chilled and relaxed while you listen to your grandads wartime stories, a loud shouting fest full of screwing people over or even a drinking game and yes that exists and it's great.

Plus it's a game that has won board game of the year multiple times and regularly tops sales charts, and there are tonnes of different themed versions if you fancy something above and beyond the base experience. All about the hype train indeed.

Oh and there's even a PC version on Steam which you can play with your friends online!
