Board game


 * ''For computer board games, see Board game (video games).

A board game is a game that is played using a board and pieces that the game comes with. Some are also called war games because of the tactics involved. They are for more than one player. These were popular before the invention of those videogames. The typical board game involves a path, and pieces moving along them depending on the number rolled on the dice. However, this is far from true for all board games. For example, Checkers aka Draughts is considered a board game.
