A themed board game is one where the setting drives the rules rather than just decorating the box: you survive on a desert island, sneak through a military base or fight a cold war, and every action makes sense because of that world. These games suit players who want a story to unfold at the table and get bored quickly with abstract cubes.
Start with the player count, because this group runs from the two-player duel of Labyrinth: The War on Terror to the eight-seat table of Among Us. Then check the length: the average is around 75 minutes, Metal Gear Solid: The Board Game pushes past that, while Unmatched: Cobble & Fog (Edizione Inglese) is done in forty. The average recommended age is 11, so plenty of titles work for families with older kids.
On uplay.it you will find over 1240 themed games available to buy, in Italian and English editions, with a deep catalogue from Fantasy Flight Games and Giochi Uniti covering both core boxes and expansions.
