Apples to Apples is my favorite game for a group. Between the random cards and the quirks of the individual players, the results are unpredictable. I don’t think I’ve ever played it without laughing.

Other good games:
Pictionary
Password
Scrabble or Bananagrams
Blokus

Card games are also good:
Bridge
Hearts
Spades
Poker
BS
Spoons

Boggle. We have at least 3 different sized boards. It’s one of the few games that multiple people genuinely enjoy playing, and it can be played flexibly to accommodate different ages and skill levels.

Forbidden Island. It's a cooperative game so doesn't pit players against each other. You work together against time running out (flooding triggered by card draws).

Apples to Apples

Ticket to Ride is our favorite.
I also love the card game Skip-Bo.

Azul is a pretty good one, easy to learn, complex strategy.

For something complex Terraforming Mars is pretty fun. Gloomhaven is kind of a fantasy video game in Board Game form.

I love sorry and uno

Uno. Monopoly. Battleship. The oldies
Poker for us adults

My kids enjoy Splendor

Codenames.

Telestrations- its great for all ages and intergenerational play.

Sorry, Euchere is cards, not a board game!

Go-to's in our family: Rumikub, Sequence, Bananagrams, Blokus, LCR, Euchere, Cribbage

It's a lot of set-up and brain power (compared to Trouble) but Pandemic is fun because you're all on the same team. It's the humans versus the game.

I was at a cottage and the owner’s had the board game Trouble, which we played. I forgot how much I love hearing the pop when you pop the dice.

I wouldn’t mind picking up some fun games for when I have family and friends over. Do you have some good ideas?
