With the current situation, we are quarantined and social distancing. So, you want to hang out with your friends and play some fun boards, here’s how. You can virtually hangout and play with friends! With any of these games just use video chat services like Skype, Google Hangouts and Zoom to see your friends while playing.
Remember, don’t stay inside all day on the computer or mobile device. We need to moderate our screen time, so go outdoors and do some fun activities.
Settlers of Catan
Celtics forward Grant Williams can attest to the fun of a spirited game of Catan, in which players build roads and villages, accumulate resources, and assemble armies in pursuit of victory. Catan Universe lets you play online with the exact same rules as the board game, acquiring stores of brick, ore, sheep, wheat, and wood to trade with other players or conquer the board yourself.

Days of Wonder Board Games
Play games like Ticket to Ride. Relatively easy to learn, the game pits players against one another in a race to build train routes across the United States and Canada, earning points for creating specific ones or having extra-long journeys.
Some of the other games available are Small World, Memoir’44 games, Gang of Four and Splendor.

Dominion
Like Catan, Dominion is a massively popular strategy-based game that pits players against one another in pursuit of victory points. Unlike Catan, Dominion is card-based, with players using decks to accumulate wealth and occasionally frustrate attempts by other players to do the same. The game has expanded significantly over the years, but you can still play a basic version for free online, with add-on cards that can be purchased.

Monopoly
It’s a classic joke that a game of Monopoly takes way too long to finish. That’s because so many people learned how to play the game wrong, but regardless, you’ll have plenty of time to play with friends online this weekend.
