Fall Into Fun: Luxe Board Games to Elevate Your Autumn Entertaining

As the air turns crisp and candlelight fills the room, there’s no better time to gather, play, and connect. This fall, elevate your evenings with luxury board games from Nesso — timeless classics reimagined in fine materials, designed to bring beauty, intention, and warmth to every moment shared.

Set the Scene: A Cozy Autumn Aesthetic

Before the first move is made, create an atmosphere that sets the tone for the evening.

Warm lighting: Use amber Edison bulbs, candles in glass hurricanes, or string lights to cast a soft, golden glow.

Natural accents: Add warmth with small pumpkins, pine cones, dried leaves, or eucalyptus sprigs arranged around your game area.

Layered textures: Drape a wool or cashmere throw over an armchair, place leather or velvet coasters on the table, and choose a linen runner in rich fall hues.

Game as décor: Keep one of your luxe boards open as a decorative tray or stack closed sets on a console or coffee table.

When done right, your games become part of the ambiance — a reflection of your style and the season.

Nesso’s Luxe Game Collection

Each piece in the Nesso collection brings together craftsmanship, functionality, and timeless appeal. They’re not just for playing — they’re for living beautifully.

Each design is meant to live in plain sight — as décor, as an experience, and as a conversation piece.

How to Host a Luxe Game Night

1. Start with a Seasonal Drink

Welcome guests with something warm and inviting — an apple cider mule, spiced pear spritz, or pumpkin-spice latte. Pair with easy-to-play games like tic tac toe or dominoes to break the ice.

2. Create Game Zones

Instead of one big table, set up multiple stations:

• Chess or Checkers by the fire (James Set)
  

• Backgammon on a side console (Sebastien or Ayden)
  

• Card Games in a cozy nook (Joseph Case)

Guests can wander and play at their own pace — it keeps the energy relaxed and social.

3. Add a Touch of Competition

If you’re hosting a larger group, divide into pairs and rotate through different games every 20–30 minutes. Offer a small prize — a seasonal candle, gourmet truffles, or caramel nuts — to the “night’s champion.”

4. Wind Down Gracefully

After dinner, transition to slower-paced games like chess or backgammon by candlelight. These moments are perfect for deeper conversation and quiet connection.

5. Blend Play with Meaning

Add storytelling to the mix — invite guests to share a favorite fall memory or gratitude reflection between rounds. It brings warmth and intention to the evening.

6. Refresh Your Setting Seasonally

Keep your look fresh by rotating textures and tones:

• Add mini pumpkins or dried florals around boards.
  

• Swap throws or pillows for deeper hues.
  

Offer seasonal bites — spiced nuts, caramel popcorn, or apple slices with honey dip.

Caring for Your Nesso Games

Keep your sets looking beautiful for years to come:

• Wipe with a soft, dry cloth — never harsh chemicals.
  

• Store pieces in their original pouches or compartments.
  

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure or heat.
  

• Use a gentle leather conditioner occasionally (test first).

• When traveling, wrap with protective padding.
