Our Mission
Board Games Czech exists to help people in Czech Republic discover and enjoy modern board games. We believe that board games offer something unique in our digital age: genuine human connection, engaging mental challenges, and memorable shared experiences.
Whether you are completely new to board gaming or a seasoned enthusiast looking for your next favorite, we aim to provide honest, practical information that helps you make informed decisions. Our reviews focus on gameplay experience, accessibility, and value rather than technical minutiae that only interest designers.
What We Do
Our primary focus is reviewing board games available in Czech Republic. Each review includes:
- Clear explanation of how the game works
- Honest assessment of strengths and weaknesses
- Recommendations for which groups the game suits
- Practical buying information for Czech customers
- Links to official resources and further reading
We also provide general guidance for navigating the board game hobby, from choosing your first games to understanding different game categories and mechanics.
Our Approach
We play every game we review multiple times with different groups before publishing. First impressions can be misleading; some games reveal their depth gradually while others wear thin after repeated plays. We try to capture the full picture.
Our ratings consider the game on its own terms. A light family game is not penalized for lacking the complexity of a heavy strategy game. We ask whether the game succeeds at what it attempts to do and whether it serves its target audience well.
We have no financial relationships with game publishers or retailers. Our recommendations are based entirely on our assessment of each game's merits. When we link to stores, we simply list convenient options for Czech buyers.
The Czech Board Game Scene
Czech Republic has a vibrant board game community. Major cities host regular game nights, conventions, and dedicated board game cafes. The local market has grown significantly, with Czech-language editions of major titles now widely available.
Prague particularly stands out with multiple board game cafes and specialty shops. These venues let you try games before purchasing, which we strongly recommend for expensive titles or games outside your usual preferences.
Online communities on Facebook and other platforms connect Czech board gamers, organize trades, and share recommendations. If you are looking to expand your gaming circle, these groups welcome newcomers warmly.
