Gift Tips for Boys

Among the bestsellers this year is guaranteed to be the adventure game Paper Dungeons. In it, players become the leaders of four-man groups of heroes with supernatural abilities who crave honour and glory. Over the course of eight rounds, you'll upgrade the heroes' abilities, craft magical objects, battle monsters and, last but not least, try to get your hands on a gem.

A game that will captivate young builders is MARS: Teraformation. In it, players take on corporations that are trying to make Mars a habitable planet and bring some relief to our Earth. The game plan is dominated by a map of Mars, on which you gradually place oceans, flora and cities. Another important element of the game is your game board, which gives you an overview of your current resources. The main component of the game, however, are the cards that represent power.

These and other games for boys can be played by your son not only with his peers.  Or hold a family joust during birthday parties and other occasions when the family gets together in larger numbers. Board games in general have the amazing quality of being able to cement a collective and help maintain healthy family relationships as well.
