Board Games

Board games are an interesting category of skill games, as they often incorporate a large element of chance, just like casino skill games. While success at games like Monopoly are obviously largely due to strategy and forethought, there's still the random element of luck involved in rolling a die. Other board games such as chess involve absolutely no element of chance whatsoever, with the winner solely determined by pure, unadulterated skill.

Board games tend to have a specific goal that must be achieved to win, with the layout and gameplay often closely intertwined. Some of the more well-known board games include Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly, Risk, and Scrabble (which is also classified as a word game, due to the nature of the gameplay).

While some board games are played online, a lot of their appeal involves multiple players sitting around a table, competing with one another and (hopefully) enjoying themselves, so many board games remain more popular in their original form.
