Find free board games by typing "download free board games' into your web browser. The results will show many options that offer a wide variety of selections.
Choose the website carefully. Some offer full versions of free board games like Scrabble, Monopoly, and Risk and some offer a sample version with a charge for the full version.
Read the information on the free board game website to ensure the game you would like to play is free and downloadable and not just to play online. Some other websites offer a membership option to receive the free full versions of the board game.
Download the free board game by following the directions on the website you are comfortable with. Typically there is a "Download" button on the game you want to download to your computer. Press that button and wait for the download.
Activate the download, if it does not start on its own, by double clicking on the name of the game on your "Download List". It will be an ".exe", or executable file. A pop-up window, "Open Executable File?", may appear giving you the option to run and download the game. Click "Run" and a "Setup Wizard" screen will appear which will guide you through the installation of the free board game on your computer.
Before you hit the "Finish" button, check or uncheck if you wish to have a short cut placed on your desktop. Click "Finish".
