Green Your Summer Nights: Board Games

The breeze is cool, the air sweet, and loved ones surround you. This week, we bring you suggestions for how to enjoy each other's company in these lighter-later hours between dusk and bedtime.

Tip #1: Play Green

A little competition, a little strategy, and a seat on the ground: Some board games, like Monopoly's National Parks Edition, which donates part of its proceeds to the National Park Foundation, take your game-playing to the inspirational outdoors. It costs $90 on Amazon, so consider buying it used for better value. Bioviva, an eco-knowledge trivia game, has won 13 awards and is made from recycled materials. As is Earthopoly, a game of carbon-credit-trading strategy.
