Any of many games of strategy or chance played on a specially designed board; often involves one or more players moving pieces and using dice or cards.

How to use

The term 'board game' is commonly used in informal settings, often among friends and family, to refer to a wide range of games that involve strategy and chance. A notable grammatical nuance is that 'board game' can be used as a countable noun, as in 'I have a collection of board games,' or as an uncountable noun, as in 'I enjoy playing board game with my friends.' However, learners should be cautious not to confuse it with 'board games' as a plural noun, which can imply multiple types of games or multiple instances of the same game.
