In addition to the above, we also like Go Fish and Old Maid (card games, not board games, but same idea).

I agree this is our favorite game as a family. I find playing candy land and chutes and ladders so boring.


Thanks for these recs. Is there any huge advantage for the expensive deluxe version vs the cheaper one in amazon?

Deluxe - expensive! Though i know it's worth it for some game. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001P06GX4?ref=olp_product_details

I can't figure out what makes that "Deluxe" version different than the regular one.

This is what we have -- it's great!

Didn't see anyone mention Sequence. Both our kids like that.

They also love Bingo. We have a few themed version we got as presents -- one about dinosaurs and one about nursery rhymes. They kids play them together, WITHOUT us. Love games they can do independently at this age!

Here's the brand that does the themed Bingos:
