Darts
ive just ordered " ticket to ride " after reading about it online
it might be too much for a young family, think its more adult
Outsmarted. Virtual game though has a board. Played on phones, tablets etc.
It’s a great game , probably more for teenagers / adults thoughOriginally Posted by blue matt
Yeah, ticket to ride is good.
Also recommend Settlers Of Catan.
Qwirkle.
Simple to play. Don’t be fooled by its looks. Its more fiendish and strategic than a simple tile game.
We’ve had it a good few years and still play it with the same enthusiasm as the first time we played.
I reckon it’s suitable for 6 years and up. But its a game that can be played by people of any age. Once we play it with friends or family, they end up buying it straight after.
When my dad visited and played it for the first time you could see him thinking he’d hammer the grandkids. The game was too simple to lose at. His 7 yr old grand-daughter gave him a right pasting. Can’t beat the look on his face 10 minutes in when he realised he was getting absolutely stuffed and that the 7 year old was playing it at a completely different level to him.
Can’t recommend it enough.
Amazon are Delivering it tomorrow , it looks a decent game, will be 4 or 5 of us playing it
Dixit is a great game for kids, gets their imaginations going and is good fun
space team is good
castle panic is good if you have some bad winners/sore losers in the household, as you all play as a team and all win or lose together.
likewise pandemic, which is good but a bit too complicated for younger ones
Snakes and Ladders. Me. my wife and boy (He's 20) still play it sometimes just for a laugh. 3 Lives each and £1 in the kitty for each game. We stop when someone runs out of money. It's great fun specially when everyone is trying to blatantly cheat!!
Not a "board" game, but "Shot in the Dark" is a good quiz game, just a pack of cards.
You don't have to be a quizzer for this, the questions are "off the wall" - most answers will be guesses.
Agree with Dixit mentioned above.
Rummikub is a good game. numbered tiles 1 - 13 in four colour groups. You have to lay down sets of the same nummer or rums in the same colour.
Labyrinth is another one worth considering. randomly places direction tiles placed on a board with some fixed tiles and one spare tile left over. A number of 'treasure' cards are dealt faces down and players take turns in changing the route and getting the treasures.
Sorry is absolutely brilliant. Simple, too. Great for all ages.
Obama Llama's good.
mexican train dominoes is good fun, and suitable for most ages
mah Jong is a great game as well, but pretty complicated to learn
Frustration is a pretty good game for kids and adults.
Risk is the greatest game of all time of course.
Bit too complicated for older ones too, in my case
Would add another vote for Dixit. Great imaginative game for kids and grownups , very easy rules and leads to some great lateral thinking .
A good family one for slightly older kids too is Camel Up. It's like a night at the greyhounds but more family friendly.
Some other favourites for older kids : King of Tokyo, Quacks of Quedlingburg , Colt Express and Takenoko .
Chance & Counters on St Mary Street is a useful place to pop into to try new games out. Loads of games to try and fully licensed too :)
y kids have king of Tokyo, but have never been able to work out the rules properly.
also a game called small world
Risk.
Escape from Colditz.
Secret Hitler is a lot of fun
Just ordered that, looks good fun
How much each do you start with? £2000/£3000?
