With Valentine’s Day coming up, I started looking for a romantic Valentine’s Day gift for my board gamer boyfriend. We’re lucky to be one of the couples who both like to play games!
I wanted to get a romantic board game-themed gift for him. Here are the valentine’s gift ideas for board gamers that I found during my search!
1. I wouldn’t trade you for anything mug
How adorable is this Settlers of Catan mug? The sentiment is perfect for board gamers and Catan fans! (For more Catan fan gift ideas see our full list!)

I love the visual style and the calming colors too. This ceramic mug is available in two cup sizes, 11oz, and 15oz, and is microwave and dishwasher safe. The seller has a metal enamel version available in their shop too.
Go see this Catan mug for yourself on Etsy.
2. Personalized Wooden Meeple Couple
This wooden cut-out meeple couple is adorable! You can personalize this board gamer valentine’s gift too! Instead of ‘ I love you’ in the center, you can choose from the seller’s suggested phrases like ‘Be My Valentine’, ‘Be Mine’, ‘2 Player Rules’ or you can personalize the heart with your own message.
You could customize with your names or your pet names for each other like one buyer did, ‘Pickle & Peanut’. What adorable names!
Go take a look at all the options for this wooden meeple couple on Etsy.
3. A couple that plays together stays together card
The sentiment on this card is so true! Unless one of you is a bad loser!
Me and my boyfriend have a date night every week where we play games together, just us. It’s really nice!
You can find this cute card on Etsy.
4. Love You More Than Board Games Sign
Now that’s love! Show how much you love your significant other by declaring that you love them more than board games!
I love the simple, modern style of this plaque. Let the statement speak for itself! It’s made from laser engraved wood and hand-painted.
You can personalize this gift too! Got a favorite board game in particular? You can have the sign say, ‘I love you more than Catan/Gloomhaven/Villainous’ or any other game you love!

5. Fog of Love board game
If you want to relive what it was like going on dates and getting to know each other, then Fog of Love is a fun game!
You don’t play yourselves, though. You each take on the role of a character and you go on dates! It’s a fun game if you like role-playing games and getting into character. It feels like you’re starring in your own romantic comedy!
One thing I really like about Fog of Love is that there are several different boxed editions available with different characters on the front. The box options are: Female & Male, Female & Female, Male & Male, and a diversity box featuring a male in a wheelchair dancing with a female.
Go take a look at Fog of Love in more detail on Amazon.
6. Love Letter card game
Love Letter is another romantic board game for two players! It’s perfect for couples to play on Valentine’s Day!
The aim of the game is to get your love letter to the Princess to win her heart. But to get the letter to her, you need to use the characters in the castle! You need to use deduction, luck, and risk to get your letter to the Princess first!
The new edition of Love Letter plays 2-6 players so it’s perfect for date night, and for playing with your friends!
Go take a look at Love Letter on Amazon.
7. Heart tokens
If decide to get Love Letter, then these heart tokens in their adorable little case are a great little Love Letter upgrade!
There are 13 tokens, the same as the amount you get in the Love Letter game but instead of using cubes or little counters, you can use love hearts!
They are perfect to use as health trackers for other games too!
Go see these adorable little heart tokens on Etsy.
8. Meeple Love Sticker Decal
These decals make the perfect something extra to pop into your board gamer’s Valentine’s Day card! They can be stuck on bumpers, phones, laptops, notebooks – anywhere really!
They are available in a variety of different colors including red, bright blue, black, purple, and pink. Get the color that your loved one plays as!
Go take a look at these board game decals on Etsy.
9. Glass Meeple Jewellery
Jewelry is the quintessential Valentine’s Day gift! My boyfriend bought me these gorgeous handmade glass meeple earrings from Jenefer Ham glass on Etsy.
They’re in my favorite color and came with a cute little google-eyed friend! They’re on sterling silver hooks too.
Jenefer is a seriously talented creator who also makes cufflinks, necklaces, and rings. They make the perfect gift!
Go see for yourself Jenefer Ham’s meeple earrings and other jewelry in her store on Etsy.
10. Meepillow
These meeple pillows are adorable! They are handmade by CriticalHitDesign on Etsy from super soft fleece fabric and filled with a squishy polyester filling! They are like giving the gift of a meeple hug!
You can contact the seller for the type of fabric you want your meepillow made in! Whether that’s the color that your partner always plays, or a more vibrant patterned design featuring their favorite colors and interests!
The reviews for these custom meepillows are amazing, see for yourself on Etsy.
11. Valentine’s Day treasure hunt cards
How about creating a little Valentine’s Day treasure hunt game for your loved one? These little Etch A Sketch style cards are perfect for writing those clues on!
You write your clues on the card, then stick the scratchable cover over the top to create your own custom cards! You can get them with or without little envelopes too!
Maybe there’s a new board game at the end of the quest?
