Best Nintendo Entertainment System board, card & party games
The Matrix has 29 board, card & party games on file for the Nintendo Entertainment System, released between 1984–1993. 22 of them support multiplayer. They're ranked below by legacy score, so the games that shaped the genre on the NES come first, with lesser-known picks further down.
Board, card, quiz and party games bring tabletop classics and social games to the screen, from chess and mahjong to trivia and casino games.
Typical commitment: quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun). Tip: These games are usually best with company; check how many players are supported before game night.
