Never fear! SYFY WIRE has put together a perfect list of gifts for the ultimate geeky stay-at-home holiday. Whether you’re looking for the perfect puzzle that you and your loved ones can spend hours putting together or for an exciting new tabletop game (say perhaps one that pits Robin Hood against Bigfoot?), you’ll find plenty of great gift ideas below. Get one for your game-loving friend — or just snag one for yourself and give people the gift of a good time playing a fun game.
