2021’s Best Ways to Play
Most people can appreciate a good toy or game. Whether you’re like one
of our editors who went on a spree of building the Lego sets of iconic Star
Wars ships or a parent who wants to test the STEM waters with your kid,
toys and games can provide an endorphine-boosting hit of nostalgia and
an opportunity to get together and do something fun and educational—
or just crush your friends in a good-spirited game of Trivial Pursuit.
We’ve spent hours testing the best board and video games, consoles, controllers, and learn-
ing toys to find the most worthy distractions and pastimes for you.
