The games I play with my kids include


Catan and Rummycube.
We also like a lot of card games. I know it's not a board game but cards are always a great go to.

The Game of Life. My college age nephews played with my elementary aged kids over Thanksgiving and all were happy to play for over an hour.

Does the boxed game provide much added value? I've played a version of this where teams take turns having someone make up the clue. I've never played the commercial version so what am I missing?

We do telestrations as well. We laugh so hard we cry. There are Nine of us and three of us (not me) could animate for Disney or Pixar. They have to sit between the rest of us so a good illustrator is between two poor ones. It’s hilarious. And we make up our own things to draw.
The kids like ticket to ride.
We also play a card game called golf.

Would love to find something solid, nicely finished? Thinking along the lines of man aka.

I’ve seen 4 D tic tac toe, not sure how fun that would be.

Thanks for any ideas!


For MS and older

Balderdash is great fun.
