It sure is! I have a board game Instagram account with just over 4000 followers and I am a small account over there. I do have publishers offer me the occasional free game in exchange for reviews but I’m not really interested in making video so I just post for the community. Even if you think you don’t like board games, there is probably a game out there you’d enjoy!

Chas,
If you are interested in board games but don’t have someone to play with, there are a lot of solo games out there! Some are made specifically for one player. Others are multiplayer games that have solo modes. It’s quite popular! But there is also a huge online boardgaming space as well!There are many popular board games that have iPad apps available. Some of them allow you to play against an AI player in game. Others allow you to play with other people. I do play a few apps against the AI on my iPad (Splendour, Railroad Ink, Castles of Mad King Ludwig, Ganz Schön Clever, Evolution). There is also a site called Tabletop Arena which is board games that you play against other human players. Many of my board game friends have accounts and play a tonne online! I don’t enjoy the online experience for board games, but I am in the minority. Some of the games on BGA can be played with a free account, but there is (of course) a paid version which allows you to play all the games available - and there are a LOT!
If you want more info about specific physical games that play well solo, I can help you out. If you want more information about Tabletop Arena and how to find people to play against who are happy to help a new player, let me know and I can ask some of my board gaming friends what they suggest!
