Updated for 2026! What are the best games for getting non-gamers to the table?
My go-to list:
1. Azul — gorgeous, tactile, simple rules, deep strategy
2. Wingspan — theme sells it, gameplay keeps them
3. Ticket to Ride — the classic for a reason
4. Cascadia — puzzley, non-confrontational, beautiful
5. The Lord of the Rings: Duel for Middle-earth — engine building 101
What would you add or change?
