What are some of the most elegant board games in your opinion? I define elegance in a board game as simplicity of rules, dead easy to teach to new comers, and game-play depth, meaning the game has VERY high reply-ability, and you can get as deep into strategy as you want. Games I would consider highly elegant:

  • Concordia: On your turn, choose one of your cards in your hand, do what it says, then put it down infront of you

  • Hansa Teutonica: put or move one or more cubes anywhere on the board

  • Watergate: pick a card, either use it for the value or do what the card says and move the piece that it says.
