It's our privilege at GamesRadar+ to help you decide which products you should buy and what you're better off avoiding, so how we test board games is very important to everyone on the team. Because your hard-earned cash is involved, it's vital that our content is both informative and of the highest quality.
That means a rigorous testing methodology (applied in as objective a way as possible for every brand, use-case, genre, and price point) is needed. With that in mind, our experts have combined their years of knowledge to create a process we use every day - and you can read about it below. Besides breaking down how we test board games in detail, it explains how we justify what deserves a place on buying guides like our roundup best board games. While there's some crossover with the wider GamesRadar+ review policy, you'll also find specific information on the way in which we tackle this unique and vibrant industry.
