Abstract: Conventional instructional methods often fail to achieve significant learning outcomes and user satisfaction, making educational board games (EBGs) a dynamic and engaging alternative. This study aims to analyze the impact of usability components (aesthetics, learnability, and operability) on user satisfaction in EBGs using the MEEGA+ framework. A purposive sampling technique was used to select bachelor’s degree students enrolled in the Personal Financial Planning (PFP) subject. A quantitative study was conducted using self-administered questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 29.0. The findings indicated that usability components (aesthetics, learnability, and operability) significantly influenced user satisfaction in EBGs for PFP students. The study suggests incorporating game-based learning into curricula to enhance understanding and satisfaction. It also highlights the importance of usability components in EBGs, providing a theoretical framework for future research in game theory, cognitive, and pedagogical approaches.
