Bagged & Boarded (2026)

About this game

In Bagged & Boarded, you're a kid who loves comics. You can't merely focus on collecting your favorite issues, though. You also need to make enough money to afford them! By savvy investment of your time, allowance, and chores money, you'll amass an impressive collection in no time! But wait—then what? Do you sell your expensive issues to buy others? Or do you put them on display, banking points for the end of the game while also increasing that series's value for everyone else? Each morning, you'll plan your day, then resolve everyone's plans in order. Will you search online? Preorder from the comic store or dig through the bargain bin? Wait in line at the convention for autographs and swag? Or, maybe you'll spend your time at home doing chores, bagging and boarding old issues, and putting them on display. Collecting and displaying a large series is worth a lot, but keep an eye on your clever friends. They might be hanging on to that issue you're looking for, eagerly waiting for you to drive up its value! —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
