Tabletop games that suit a family evening run to board classics, card games and puzzles that draw people to one table for an hour, easy to pick up together; the boxed sort sits under indoor games. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep games chosen to look well left out.
Which games are handsome enough to display at home?
Games handsome enough to display are the cased and wooden sets, a chess or backgammon board that reads as an object between rounds, so it lives on a shelf rather than in a cupboard; a good chess set leads the group. Choose sets that reward being left out in view.
How do handsome game sets double as decor?
A row of handsome games, boxed and cased, reads as a small collection on an open shelf, wood and leather stacked or stood on end, with a board left part-played below; a backgammon set earns its spot. On show, they tempt a round more than a closed cupboard does.
Which games make good gifts?
Games make good gifts when the set offers classic play and suits the recipient, whether a board or cased game for repeated use; a soft Steiff plush animals piece suits younger guests. Pick a classic design that matches the recipient's interests and the way they like to play.
