Are older board games worth anything?
Old board games can have value. The rarest games are usually the most valuable. Games from the 1940s often have more value than newer games. Unique games may have high value too. Factors like age, rarity, condition, and popularity determine value. Some old board games sell for thousands of dollars, but this is rare.
Assessing a Game’s Value
To assess a game’s value, research online price guides, check sold listings, inspect conventions, or contact collectors. Once the approximate value is found, owners can sell online, at specialty stores, keep as heirlooms, or donate to schools, hospitals, or charities so others can enjoy classic games.
Can you recycle game boards?
You can recycle board games. Separate the cardboard, which is recyclable, from plastic pieces, which may not be recyclable. Some plastic pieces can be difficult to recycle. Cardboard should be flattened before recycling. You can also reuse board game components creatively, donate games, or sell valuable vintage games. Recycling board games is better for the environment than throwing them away.
