Picking a board game for someone else is harder than it sounds. You don't know if they already own it, whether the theme will land, or if it will even show up in time for the occasion.UnboxBoardom's gift guide solves all three at once. That is giving a board game subscription box as a gift while a new game arrives on a real schedule which could be monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly, with the recipient choosing which one they get from a curated shortlist every cycle, and certainly not a guess you make on their behalf.Give a gift card instead and they decide everything themselves, when to start and which plan fits. Either way, it's one of the simplest board game subscription box gift ideas to get right, because nobody has to guess.
You choose the plan and the length, monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly. They get a new game every cycle and pick which one they want from the options each time.
They choose everything. Pick any amount between $10 and $100, and they put it toward whichever plan or game they want.
Once a month, they get an email with a handful of games to choose from, and they pick the one they want to play (or tell us to surprise them).You enter their email at checkout, that’s what puts them on the list to make that pick, not you.No guessing whether they’ll like it or already own it, that decision is entirely theirs.Once the gift term ends, nothing renews and no one gets charged again. It’s a one-time gift for a fixed period, not a recurring charge on anyone’s card.Even if you leave it as a surprise (“Trust the Experts” turned on), you can still enter the recipient’s email and a gift message at checkout, so they’re notified they’ve received a gift right away.If you’d rather pick the games for the recipient yourself instead of letting them choose, just note that in the Gift Message box at checkout and we’ll set it up that way.
"My wife and I have reached a point where during the winter months we hang close to the house. We are also realizing that TV can only be so entertaining. We picked up a game, thinking we'd play once or twice a month as a break from the TV, and it's been a great start."— Richard M., UnboxBoardom customer"Perfect for our family of four. The game was not too easy, not too hard for all players. Challenging and fun. Nice to come home to a cool new game on the table and reinstate family game night after too many nights of Netflix."— Nichole E., UnboxBoardom customerStill deciding whether a board game is the right gift?

How much can an UnboxBoardom gift card be for?
UnboxBoardom gift cards can be for any amount between $10 and $100, so you can match any budget, whether that covers a full run of a subscription plan or a top-up toward one.
How does an UnboxBoardom gift card work?
When you buy a gift card, the recipient gets a digital gift card with a code. They enter that code at checkout and it’s applied to their order. Most people put it toward a subscription plan, since that’s the core UnboxBoardom experience.
On a gift card or a gifted subscription, who picks the games each month?
The recipient does, either way. If a gift card gets put toward a subscription, or a subscription is given as a gift directly, the recipient’s own email is collected at checkout, and they choose the featured game each month, not the person who paid for it.
Is a gift card a good option if I don’t know which plan someone would want?
Yes. A gift card is the flexible choice, because the recipient redeems it and picks the subscription plan that fits, rather than you guessing on their behalf. It’s one of the best white elephant gift ideas on the site for exactly that reason, no one has to guess whether a monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly plan is right.
Why does UnboxBoardom offer a gift card option?
A gift card exists so someone can give the gift of an UnboxBoardom subscription without committing to a specific plan, without needing to match an exact dollar amount, for example $20 toward a plan that runs closer to $40, or when the recipient isn’t ready to start yet and would rather hold the card until they are.
