One of the best deals you can find at the thrift store is board games. You can easily find classic games like Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, but you can also find unique and rare vintage ones as well. We are a big board game loving family, so of course I’ve amassed quite the collection. Click through to see just how many I’ve collected (and which one are our favorites!).

So if you’re counting there are 24 thrifted board games in our stash. Some are in better condition than others, but I found them all for a fraction of the cost of new ones. I usually try to check inside the boxes to ensure all of the pieces are there–which sometimes requires gently peeling back packaging tape. (Hint: to remove tape at home, use a heat gun to warm up the adhesive and peel away without tearing the box.) But don’t let missing pieces deter you if it’s a game you adore and is hard to find–you can often find missing pieces on Ebay. 
Board games make for a perfect gift idea. Here’s a closer look at my collection along with links to where you can find your own used ones online:

The Wind in the Willows game has to be one of my all time favorite board game finds. I’d never heard of it before (the game, not the book), and it’s so much fun to play with the kids. Animal Twister and Jumanji are also at the top. Many of these games are actually collector’s items now and would go for top dollar if you’re looking to resell them online! 
What are your favorite family board games? Any good thrifted finds?
