The Geek's Guide For Choosing The Perfect Board Game [Chart]

We’ve written so much about online gaming and retro arcade games on Bit Rebels. Those are two styles of gaming that we really love and can relate to since we play both of them, a lot. People who aren’t familiar with the current game trends might not realize how fast, easy and fun playing a simple game can be. There are tons of games you can download on your iPhone that take around 3 minutes to play from start to finish. They are perfect to fill the gap while you are waiting (waiting for the bus, waiting for an appointment, waiting for a meeting, etc.). It’s one of the reasons why Angry Birds became so popular. It fills that waiting gap anytime and anywhere.

However, there are still lots of people in the world who play traditional board games. Board games are fun too, and my number one favorite of all time will probably always be Scrabble. Even though there are a lot of lame board games out there, there are just as many that are very cool. If you are looking for a low key activity to do when your friends come over, you might be surprised at how much fun a board game can be.

With so many out there to choose from, how do you go about picking just the right one? Sean at Silver Oak Casino has the answer for you. He created this brilliantly complex yet effective chart that will make your inner geek smile. Just start at the top and work your way down. Before you know it, you’ll land on the perfect answer. This is one of those charts that you could get lost in, and I love it. Thank you, Sean, for sending this to me.
