Game Night Must-Haves for the Long Weekend

Victoria Day long weekend. May 2-4. The unofficial start of the summer. The first real taste of brighter days and warmer weather - and in our books, a bittersweet reminder that we deserve a long weekend every month of the year!

For those lucky enough to escape the city, it's the first trip up to the cottage, for swimming and barbecues and bonfires and card games - all set in the beautiful outdoors. But what happens when the weather is not at its best? Being cooped up in the house isn't ideal but there's nothing a board game or two can't fix! 

Rain or shine, here are our Top 10 Board Games for the long weekend:
