I suspect we enjoy end-of-year lists because they ease our underlying certainty that everything will eventually be swept away by time and the sea. Anyway! 2023 was a much better year for board games than some will admit. Or perhaps my affection arises from this being the first year that my nine-year-old pretty much earned her own category. Regardless of the reason, below you will find links to every day of Best Week 2023, and from there to reviews of the year’s finest board games, puzzles, and diversions.

Here’s to another. And another. And countless more beyond.
