Just a few months ago, Gerard Ribas managed to break into one of the most prestigious lists for board games, the German Spiel des Jahres (Game of the Year), which annually recognizes the best board games in the world. In this case, the award recognized him in the children's category. Thanks to his game Island in sight, it reached a ranking in which two more games from our home team had already debuted, Sherlock –co-created by Martí Lucas and Josep Izquierdo– and Baobab, by Josep Maria Allué.

There are millions of fun and educational board games to spend time with the family. Whether at the beach, in the mountains, or after dinner: any time is a good time to engage your brain, stimulate your imagination, and bond through play. We have five diverse suggestions for different ages.

We want to recommend a range of activities for the coming days, such as the play El fill or the Petit Rec de Igualada, the great circuit of pop-up stores for fashion, gastronomy and culture.
