I have several board games I want to gift to you guys if you'll help cover shipping. However, $30 or more to ship won't make sense. Anyone shipped recently?

I would recommend using
https://www.pirateship.com/. The rates through there will save you at least a couple dollars off what it would cost buying direct from USPS.

If you don't mind waiting, I think it might considered media rate at the post office. If has books or guides. A board is just a short book.

BGG hivemind seems to say board games can’t count as media mail, unfortunately.

Indeed. There was a KS project a few years back that was sending their games via Media Mail to save money and they got into all kinds of trouble with the postal service.
