Best PlayStation board, card & party games

The Matrix has 19 board, card & party games on file for the PlayStation, released between 1995–2001. 16 of them support multiplayer. They're ranked below by legacy score, so the games that shaped the genre on the PS1 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.
