We all love playing games, and at CB2, we aim to turn Games Night into something special with a fabulous selection of designer board games, puzzle games, and classic entertainment for all the family. Whether you love a competitive game of cards or a head-scratchingly intriguing game of Clue, our Games collection is bound to keep you entertained.

As part of our Décor and Mirrors selection, the games you’ll find on offer here aren’t just great fun to play; they're also designed to enhance your décor. From a bespoke Backgammon set to a chess set carved from marble, these are games that will make your world a more beautiful place. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer at CB2.

Designer Board Games

Designer board games include some of the world’s best-loved games. These special editions are not only fun to play, but they’re collectables that look gorgeous when displayed in a modern home. From a coffee table with a Clue game board set up to a game of Monopoly artfully displayed on a game table in a down-lit alcove, designer board games are as much a work of art as they are a form of entertainment.

Luxury Playing Cards & Card Sets

Games night wouldn’t be the same without a poker set or a few card games. A luxury playing card set is the perfect gift for the gamer who loves a round of Texas Hold’em or a game of Bridge with friends. There are thousands of different card games you can play with the kids, too, making a luxury playing card set a great gift and a must-have in any family home.

Decorative Chess & Backgammon Sets

Played for thousands of years, both chess and backgammon are still as popular today. At CB2, we've refined these classic games and have included some luxury chess sets and backgammon sets in our collection. Using natural materials as well as more contemporary designs in acrylic, these sets are beautiful to look at too, making a great statement piece in any living room or games room.

Statement Puzzles & Artful Games

A simple puzzle game is elevated to fine art through the use of alabaster, marble and semi-precious stones like tiger's eye. These statement puzzles and artful games are often deceptively simple in concept but fiendishly complex to play well, so they offer a real mental challenge to anyone who loves games. For something simple yet sublimely elegant, a marble and brass version of Tic-Tac-Toe makes a stunning coffee table addition to your décor.

Collectable & Limited Edition Games

Many games issue collectable and Limited Editions, making them an excellent gift for a collector or as a gift for a housewarming, wedding, or anniversary. The most famous is Monopoly, which has hundreds of different Special Editions, while popular games like Clue and Scrabble also release collectable versions. At CB2, we regularly offer Limited Edition versions of our favourite games – not only are they guaranteed to be fun to play, but the uniqueness makes them a great addition to your home décor as a signature item in a living room or games room.

FAQs

What are the best luxury board games for adults?

While a poker set or a luxury chess board and marble pieces may sound like the best games for adults, the reality is that any game is great as long as you enjoy playing it! Board games like Clue get your mind and analytical skills working, while Monopoly is a classic board game of strategy and planning (and avoiding the ‘Go Straight To Jail’ card, of course).

Are there stylish game sets that also work as coffee table décor?

Absolutely. The elegance of a chess set carved from natural marble makes a superb coffee table ornament. Alternatively, exclusive editions of games such as Scrabble or Clue, or a marble and brass Tic-Tac-Toe board and pieces, transform into a sublimely elegant ornament. However, be warned, the temptation to start playing rather than simply observing the game is always present.

What materials make high-end chess or backgammon sets special?

We’ve mentioned already that marble is an excellent material for luxury chess sets, but for a modern alternative, acrylic adds a contemporary twist while still creating a high-end finish. For Backgammon sets, soft leather cases and beautifully adorned playing surfaces bring this ancient game up to date.

Are luxury games good gift ideas for weddings or housewarmings?

Yes, luxury games make a great wedding or housewarming gift. It reminds newlyweds that they should always leave time to enjoy themselves, and once they start a family, a games collection brings the generations together for some quality time.

What are the most popular collectable games for design lovers?

Games like Monopoly and Clue release special editions (there are hundreds of different editions of Monopoly alone), making them extraordinarily collectable. Simple games can also be collectable, such as white marble puzzle games or a deceptively easy-looking game of Solitaire made from alabaster and tiger’s eye marbles.
