This is a list of board games. This page classifies board games according to the concerns which might be uppermost for someone organizing a gaming event or party. See the article on game classification for other alternatives, or see Category:Board games for a list of board game articles.

Mental-skill games edit

for two players edit

Abstract strategy games edit

In abstract strategy games, players know the entire game state at all times, and random generators such as dice are not used.

Classic edit
Modern edit

Games of chance edit

Luck or hidden information may decide the outcome, but skill predominates.

Multi-player games edit

Elimination games edit

Players are eliminated during the course of a game; the last remaining player wins

Race games edit

The first player to achieve some victory condition is the winner.

Scoring games edit

All players play to some predefined limit (for example a fixed number of turns, a fixed amount of time) and then add up their scores; the player with the highest score is the winner. These games are especially suited for mixed play with adults and children, and most German-style board games fit into this category. In some games (for example Auf Achse) scoring only occurs when a player staisfies some ending condition - but if that player has not necessarily won, the game is not considered a racing game.

Games of physical skill edit

Coordination, finesse, or other physical skills are necessary.

Children's games edit

The rules are easy to learn and the outcome mostly or entirely due to chance.
