While round-the-clock fun and games for the 400 Mind Games participants, it's also serious business. The competition, founded in 1990, offers games manufacturers the chance to have their games reviewed by some of the nation's most avid game-players — members of American Mensa. The global board games market was valued at $14.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $32 billion by 2032, according to Fortune Business Insights. North America dominates the market with a 41.6 percent share, and the U.S. board game market is expected to generate $2.8 billion in revenue in 2025.
2025 Mensa Select games will be announced on April 28. 2024 winners are available here.
