June 2026 confirms that the most popular board games are proving hard to dislodge from the top of the charts. Flip 7 remains the undisputed favourite amongst players, whilst hits such as Harmonies and Ark Nova are consolidating their positions, demonstrating that strategy games involving world-building, habitat creation and careful planning continue to captivate players. A special feature of the June chart is that we have also added two exceptionally popular games among players worldwide to our range – Wingspan and Bomb Busters.
June brings an interesting balance between tried-and-tested classics and diverse gaming experiences. Whilst Terraforming Mars, Heat: Pedal to the Metal, Cascadia and Mixed Forest continue to prove their popularity, co-operative games such as Bomb Busters and The Gang confirm that players increasingly value tackling challenges together and working as a team. On the other hand, Wingspan continues the trend of popular nature-themed games, where players seek the perfect combination of strategy and aesthetics through the careful construction of their reserves.

Scout
SCOUT is a ladder-climbing game in which cards have two potential values, players may not change the order of the cards in their hand, and players can skip their turn to take a card from the current high set into their hand.
Compared to May, there have been no major changes in the rankings. Proven hits such as Azul and The Lord of the Rings: A Card Game remain among the 25 most-played games, although they have slipped slightly down the rankings this time. The June chart thus proves once again that top-class board games retain their popularity even as new titles arrive, as players are primarily looking for quality, good design and unforgettable moments at the gaming table.
