With vaccination rates climbing in the United States and pandemic restrictions easing, I am eagerly anticipating the return of in-person board game nights. Many of us want to reconnect with friends and family after a year of isolation, and playing tabletop and other board games together is a great way to spend time with those you love.

After hiking a few local trails by the river, I can sense the restlessness of summer in the air. Feeling moved by nature, I tested a bunch of environment-focused board games. Whether you are obsessed with birding, need a good game to take camping, or want to share a passion for the outdoors with your family, these are the best nature board games to play all summer long.
