Whether you just need a break from your Netflix queue or you’re looking for something the whole family can do together at the end of the long, stressful day, board games, puzzles, and other indoor games you can play at home are pretty much a must-have. A little friendly competition never hurts, right? And they’re great for a rainy day, too.
There are tons of board games on the market that are fun for adults and the whole family, but they’re not always exactly stylish. If you’re looking for games you don’t have to stash away in a closet, these games are as entertaining to play as they are pretty. Some are affordable, some are on the pricier side, but there’s one thing they have in common: You won’t want to put them back in the box. Or at the very least, you won’t mind keeping the box on display.
