Top 5 best board games ever

Who isn’t brought up with board games? It is something of all ages, and now you can also play them online.



Here comes the top 5:


1) MONOPOLY

In 2008, Hasbro released Monopoly Here and Now: The World Edition. This world edition features top locations of the world.

The new game uses its own currency unit, the Mono. The game uses said unit in millions and thousands.

It is also notable that three cities (Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver) are from Canada and three other cities (Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai) are from People's Republic of China. No other countries are represented by more than one city.


2) CHESS

Chess is a board game played between two players. It is played on a chessboard, which is a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the start, each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove or defend it from attack on the next move.


3) SCRABBLE

Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by forming words from individual lettered tiles on a game board.


4) RISK

Risk is a strategic board game. Risk is a game for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the Earth, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents.


5) TRIVIAL PURSUIT

Trivial Pursuit is a board game in which progress is determined by a player's ability to answer general knowledge and popular culture questions. Dozens of question sets have been released for the game. The question cards are organized into themes; for instance, in the standard Genus question set, questions in green deal with science and nature.
