Board games have rolled past go, and seen a massive resurgence in popularity in the past decade.

The global market has an estimated value of more than 31-billion dollars, and is expected to grow a further five billion by 2029.

New Zealand's largest board game convention, WellyCon has just been held.

Convention organiser Ceedee Doyle told Mike Hosking some of the world's top games are made here locally.

She says a game from the Kapiti Coast won game of the year.
