I always wished that the board games of the Fallout universe had playable modules similar to the arcade holotapes found in each game. But even though they aren’t functional, it doesn’t mean they’re useless. The board games in Fallout 76 can be scrapped for some of the most valuable materials throughout Appalachia.
Finding and scrapping these board games is a commonly assigned Seasonal Challenge that isn’t too difficult to complete. To save you some time with your Seasonal Challenges, we’ve compiled the best locations to find board games in Fallout 76.
The best locations to find board games in Fallout 76
Whitespring Refuge
A primary player hub and the all-around best location for many scavenging materials, Whitespring Refuge is home to five board games in the Rec Room on the west end of the building. Since this is one of the most popular locations in the game, you may have to hop worlds during primetime hours to find a world that other players haven’t picked clean.
Eta Psi House
The only instanced building in Fraternity Row, the Eta Psi House also contains five board games scattered through the rooms of the residence. There are also rare Nuka-Cola spawns and other valuable junk items in the house, which makes this location a worthy stop if you need to knock out many Seasonal Challenges at once.
Putnam Residence
Found in the Lewis and Sons Farming Supply POI, this barn house is quick and easy to drop into and speed loot the board games and other junk items. There’s also a convenient crafting table inside so you can scrap your inventory and keep your pack light.
Grafton Pawn Shop
Located in the city of Grafton, the pawn shop is an instanced building with an assortment of goodies. While the items aren’t as numerous as the other locations in this guide, there are three board games which are enough to fulfill the requirements for the Seasonal Challenge. There’s also a Tinker’s Workbench which allows you to scrap all of the items collected in the shop.
