Let's make one thing clear at the outset. This article is aimed at suggesting board games that you can play during this period of self-isolation to while time away with people you are already sharing space with. It is not meant to encourage you to call folks over and make a party out of it because, well, you know the reasons why. So if you are two friends sharing a flat in Mumbai, we have suggestions for you. If you are three people living under the same roof, there are suitable options on that front as well. And if, say, you are a family of four, we have got you covered, too. Two people who have founded board game cafés in Mumbai — Ronak Chitalia of Chai and Games, and Ajay Sachde of Ministry of Games — have weighed in with their expertise. There are options for both adults and children. Take your pick depending on your preference.
