30 Underrated Board Games in 2022

We've picked 30 Board Games that have a great Rating on Board Game Geek but do not appear in the top 100: they have a large amount of people who love them, but apparently not enough to break the BGG algorithm ;)

Some of them might be a bit too recent and will get there eventually, others might be out of print and not gaining a large following, some of them are hidden gems. Lets us know in the comments if the selection makes sense!

Excellent list! Thanks for the good recommendations. Some of these had definitely flown under my radar. Planet Unknown looks like something I would love.

Excellent list of games.Too many bones is complicated and expensive

Triumph and Tragedy is the finest WW2 strategy level wargame on the market. Bar none.

Hi. Having made this list a couple of weeks ago you shouldn't include OOO games like the anniversary edition of Galaxy Trucker since it's impossible to find. U.u

Istanbul is good. But pretty boring with two players.
