They say, two is a company, three is a crowd, four is a party. Usually, 4 players are also the best number of friends to play a board game because more gamers create a bit of a chaotic atmosphere where it’s hard to concentrate while fewer participants can be too serious or boring to have fun. So, for me, this particular number is the best one for a gaming night’s session.
About my approach to choosing the best board games for 4 players
What games are good for such events? It depends on the interests and age of all participants. Get my idea, sitting at the table with a two-year-old fidget is quite difficult. Many board games are marked with “3+” which means the recommended age of players. I know a few exceptions that are good for every age – Monopoly, classic Jenga. But if you seek something newer and more exciting, then make sure to involve the interests of all people who will play.
My friends and I chose such titles for 4 players as the best ones for almost everyone:
- WE Games is good for a couple or 4 players. The size is very convenient;
- Jokers and Marbles is good for a big group up to 8 players;
- Fallout has 4 scenarios so 4 players can get involved (aged over 14 years);
- RUSTIK is made of natural wood and it is good for younger players (aged over 8 years);
- Jenga GIANT Genuine is my personal pick – it offers 54 blocks to build a huge tower in the backyard;

By far Jenga is the best game to play with multiple players… there is always a ton of suspense around the game as everyone waits to see who will knock over the tower. It’s literally one of the best games ever invented and if you don’t already own a set go get one.
