I’ve been playing a lot more games since I started staying home. And because of that, my stack of board games has become a little bit much. They’re not really something I want to put out on display, so I’ve had to find places to hide them. And then I realized, I should be buying games that are beautiful, that function as home decor, too. Etsy has tons of fun games, and beautiful ones at that. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites.

FOR CHESS

Etsy

$62

Magnetic Chess Set

If you watched a ton of The Queen’s Gambit and want to play chess on the ceiling, well, now you can. Or you can play on the table or even the wall. This chess set functions as pretty cool wall decor when not in use, and can be fun to play with a bunch of people, so everyone can see the board at once.

Etsy

FOR CRIBBAGE

Etsy

$175

Cribbage Board

If you’re not a big cribbage person, now’s the time to start. If you are a big cribbage person, show that off with this wonderful figured maple and cherry board. The quality here is just exceptional.

Etsy

FOR BACKGAMMON

Etsy

$375

Hardwood Backgammon Board

Don’t know how to play backgammon? Now’s an excellent time to learn. This hardwood board folds up for easy storage, and will look great on display, too.

Etsy

FOR DOMINOES

Etsy

$52

Wooden Dominoes

I love dominoes and these wooden ones are extraordinarily beautiful, in my opinion, compared to a regular set. They also go into a nice little cloth bag so they can be tucked away for easy storage.

Etsy

FOR A PUZZLE

Etsy

$35

Moonlight Over Euclid Puzzle

Yes, even your puzzles should be beautiful, and I haven’t seen a prettier one than this. You’ll probably have to frame it once you finish it.

Etsy

FOR CHINESE CHECKERS

Etsy

$40

Chinese Checkers

Hunker down with a game of chinese checkers. This wooden set is gorgeous and will be one you’ll want to keep on display for years to come.

Etsy

FOR GO

Etsy

$59

Wooden Go Board

If Go is your game, you can’t go wrong with this set. It comes with a sleek wooden board, beautiful wooden pieces, and it’s foldable. The inside has felt so nothing damages the wood, either.

Etsy
