We love ravensburger board games for their clever designs. From Labyrinth to The Crew, these family favourites never disappoint or bore us.
Looking for the best ravensburger board games to add to your shelf? We’ve played and laughed (and sometimes cried) through a mountain of them with our friends. When we pick ravensburger board games for our list, we focus on easy rules, fun for all ages, and games that make us want to play again right away. We love board games that bring folks together, whether you’re hunting treasure, catching villains, or arguing over the best clue. Our list covers top picks for families, party groups, and seasoned gamers. Get ready to find your next favorite board game!
On this list:
11 Labyrinth
We’ve spent many nights yelling at each other over this shifting maze of a game! Labyrinth is a classic among ravensburger board games. You get to push tiles around to reach treasures, but sometimes you accidentally block yourself—or your friend, which is even better. It’s easy to learn, but every round feels different. The artwork has that cozy 80s charm, and the rules are simple enough for kids but tricky enough that adults get way too invested. If you want a game that messes with your head and your sense of direction, this is a winner.
10 Disney Villainous
We still remember the first time Ursula stole our win (and our dignity). Disney Villainous lets you play as your favorite villain—and be very mean to your friends in the process. Each villain has their own way to win, like Captain Hook chasing Peter Pan or Maleficent cursing the land. It’s one of the most creative ravensburger board games we’ve played, and you’ll want to try every character. Bonus: you learn who your real friends are, because they’ll target you the whole game.
9 The Quest for El Dorado
If you enjoy a race and some deck-building, this one’s for you. We dare you to not get mad at someone who blocks your path! This is one of those ravensburger board games that starts off simple but turns into wild competition. You buy cards, make a path through jungles, and sometimes get stuck behind a rock, cursing the day you ever wanted gold. Super replayable and quick enough for weeknights.
8 The Castles of Burgundy
We warn you: once you break this out, your brain will not stop thinking about cows and silver mines. This is a classic eurogame from the ravensburger board games line, with a big fanbase. You roll dice and grab tiles to build a little kingdom. It seems peaceful, but really it’s a fight for the best tiles. Deep strategy here, but not too much rule-checking. Great for gamers who like planning ahead (and beating their friends by a point or two).
7 Scotland Yard
This is one of our go-to ravensburger board games when we want to play detective. One of you is Mr. X, sneaking around London, and everyone else tries to catch him. It’s tense, clever, and way more fun than a taxi ride in real life. We’ve had games where Mr. X pulls off Houdini-level escapes, and others where he gets caught at turn two. No matter what, it’s memorable every time.
6 Horrified
We picked Horrified because it’s a great Ravensburger board game where players team up against classic monsters. Lots of teamwork, tense moments and laughs. If you liked the group challenge and cooperation in Kingdom Hearts: Perilous Pursuit, you’ll be right at home here—plus, no Disney drama, just pure monster mayhem.
5 Puerto Rico
Okay, this is a legend among ravensburger board games, and for good reason. We’ve spent weekends brooding over the best way to ship corn or grab the right building. It’s deep, smart, and every game feels different. It’s definitely for players who don’t mind a little brain burn. If you love a good eurogame, this one’s a must. Just don’t blame us when you lose sleep plotting your next plantation.
4 Wavelength
We’ve never laughed harder—or disagreed more—than during a Wavelength game. This is a party game from ravensburger board games where you try to read your team’s mind. Someone gives a clue, and everyone guesses where it lands on a dial. It sounds light (and it is), but it gets wild as people debate what counts as ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ or if pineapple belongs on pizza. It’s fast, social, and easy to teach.
3 Push
We found this little card game packs a big punch. Push is a push-your-luck game where you never know if your next card will make your friends cheer or groan. It’s perfect for when you want a quick, silly challenge. You’ll push your luck, and then regret it, and then do it again (because you never learn). One of the lightest ravensburger board games, and great for breaking the ice.
2 The Quest Kids: Matching Adventure
This sweet game is a kid-friendly hit from the ravensburger board games line. We tried it with our little cousins, and watched them giggle the whole time. It’s matching and memory with a fun fantasy twist, perfect for introducing youngsters to the hobby. Adults might not lose sleep over it, but the kids sure might—and that means bedtime victory for parents!
1 The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine
If ravensburger board games had to send one game out to represent modern classics, this is it. We played this trick-taking co-op with our most competitive friends and still had fun! It’s about working together, not against each other, which was almost confusing for us. The missions get harder as you go, and you’ll be high-fiving or groaning after each hand. It’s smart, replayable, and even grandma caught on quick. That’s why it’s our pick for the very best—fun for everyone, and surprisingly deep for such a small box.
