Globally, the board market is at the boom stage of its lifecycle and this is reflected in sales and demand trends in major countries across the world including Canada. This trend is also reflected at different levels for the different types of games - RPGs, Card, Dice games, Tabletop board games. In addition to the general boom, this is also a period of growth for small and newer entrants into the board game markets. While classic games continue to retain their nostalgic allure and dominate the best-selling top lists, newer games are also doing quite well with dedicated followers offline, online & via physical social platforms such as cafes & conventions (which have seen an explosion in growth from 2015 to 2020).
