Valentine's Day often comes with a self-induced expectation that things need to be some sort of perfectly planned symphony of romance and large declarations of affection. And while yes, we all want to be shown that we’re loved and cared for, sometimes a quiet night in with a few games to play, shows to watch, and your fave snacks to eat can feel like the most romantic gesture of all. Especially when spent with the person we love the most.
So, let’s ditch the pressure and bring back the fun. This collection of Valentine’s Day board games is stacked with 2-player games made for couples who’d rather flirt over a rulebook than shout over a crowded restaurant. We’ve raided our shelves and pulled together some crowd favourites, party starters, best sellers, and budget-friendly gems under $50 to bring you something worth staying in for this Valentine’s Day. Big plans, small plans or no plans at all, we have all your game-shaped fun ready and raring to go.
And, if your ideal February 14th features tiny humans, self-appointed rule experts and at least one player who refuses to lose gracefully, why not take a detour through our family games collection? Same love, more shouting!
