Best 3 Board Games in 2026

PARTY GAME: The Number is a simple and tactical game in which you have to write a 3-digit number on your tablet while trying not to have a number in common with the others! An easy to learn party game is perfect for all ages at your next gathering.

A CLEVER MIX OF BLUFFING AND RISK TAKING: Writing a large number earns more points, but it's also a risky gamble because if you have a number in common with one of the smaller numbers revealed by one of your classmates, you don't score any points!

STRATEGY GAME: As the round progresses, you can no longer use the numbers you have used before, so the possibilities gradually narrow. It's up to you to make the right choices, to bet high or to make yourself very small to keep your chances on the last rounds. After 2 rounds, get the highest score to win the game.

DON'T BLOW YOUR COVER: The hit social party game is back with more of everything you loved about the first game! SPYFALL 2 is an easy-to-learn card game of bluffing, probing questions, clever answers, and suspicion. Players receive a secret card letting them know where they are – a vineyard, a jail, a gas station – except that one player receives the SPY card instead of the location. The Spy doesn’t know where they are, but wins the round if they can figure it out before they blow their cover!  

WALK A MILE IN THE SHOES OF A SPY: Players ask each other questions during intense 8-minute rounds. Non-Spy players want to ask questions and give answers that prove to the other players that they know where they are. But watch out! If your questions and answers are too specific, the Spy will easily guess the location and win. But if your questions and answers are too generic, you might be accused of being the Spy. 

NEW TO THIS EXPANSION: In SPYFALL 2, players can add a second Spy to double the espionage! When one tries to guess the location, the other one takes a guess as well. Play with up to 12 players at once for bigger games, more finger-pointing, and shenanigans! 20 new locations add tons of crazy new fun. 

THIS IS AN EXPANSION TO COSMIC ENCOUNTER: This is not a standalone product. A copy of the Cosmic Encounter Core Set is required to play.

A POWER THAT TRANSCENDS THE AGES: Stretched beyond the confines of space and time, a crack in the cosmos has revealed a slew of ancient alien species once forgotten to the annals of history.

EXCITING NEW GAME DYNAMICS: In this expansion, 30 new aliens explode onto the galaxy! Players will be terrified by the Nightmare, pledge their allegiance to The Cult, develop rapport with the Bleeding Heart and just watch the world burn with the Anarchist!

SURVIVAL BOARD GAME: The crew wakes up from hibernation to find a critical system failure that they must find and repair to safely return to Earth. The problem? One crew member is dead. Somebody ripped open his hibernation pod and pulled his body out. To make matters worse, you can hear noises in the vast corridors of the ship that sound unlike anything you have heard before.

STRATEGY GAME: Choose your character wisely because each one comes with a unique set of skills and weaknesses.
