If you’ve had it with binge-watching Netflix and baking banana bread, try playing board games instead. Fortunately, there are many strategy tabletop board games you can play online, so you can still get some human interaction, while staying safe at home and respecting social distancing requirements.

Settlers of Catan – the app even includes downloads for the game’s many expansions, like Seafarers, Traders and Barbarians or Cities and Knights.

Carcassonne – the digital version of Carcassonne is one of the better-reviewed board game experiences in the app store, and it provides a lot of variety, including easy modes for kids.

Pandemic – informative and timely, this game requires you to work together with your partners in order to stop the spread of a virus that threatens the entire planet. We’re looking at you, COVID-19!

Or, purchase a subscription to Board Game Arena , an online board game platform, so you can host your own board game night via video conferencing.

Game on!
