Family board game

Not a board game but a fun card game is Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza.
Great fun ...you need fast reflexes !

My GC always want to play this with me because my arthritic hands are too slow. I take smugness to a new level any time I manage to win.

Monopoly in my family

I bought my family the cheaters version of monopoly, they love it and such a good time it was worth every penny paid.

While not board games, both UNO and DUTCH BLITZ are wonderful games for all ages, and actually the younger players can easily beat their elders in both games! They are both card based games, played around a table, they inspire a lot of chat & fun as the game develops.

Last year I bought Herd Mentality - great fun and suitable for all ages

Mexican dominoes is great! Introduced to us by Canadian family, now a firm favourite. Also known as Mexican trains.

I like Risk too (and Diplomacy) but some in the family don't.
You have to be happy to sit out a long time with Risk if you lose

A really good but old board game is Bonanza. It’s a card based board game. I think you can get it on EBay.
A fun game which we played a few years ago and now a family favourite is What’s in the Bag but not a board game.

Just remembered it’s What’s in the Sock!,

We all love Who’s in the Bag, not a board game but great fun and very easy to play with no complicated instructions.

I might be hopeless at that!

Anyone looking for reviews of family games, old or new, could try the Zatu website. Apologies if not allowed to suggest, but they do regularly publish reviews by genuine gamers.

All my grandkids love Dixit too .

Mad, hilarious, surreal - teenagers love it😹😻🙀😸😼

Cluedo, monopoly, Uno, Trivial Pursuits, Taxi, Scrabble, Risk are all family favourites.

Much loved and hilarious is Cards Against Humanity. But you need to be broad minded, and the box days for over 17s.

Definitely Labyrinth--probably need to be 7or 8 or over but you can play tactically or simply.

If you love cats, try Catopoly; it's like Monopoly but hilarious. Instead of houses and hotels, you have fish bones and litter trays!

There's also the dog version, too!

It depends how crazy you want to go!

We played the Taskmaster board game last Christmas. It was absolutely hilarious🤣 Best fun I’ve had in ages - we were all crying with laughter (adults plus two teenagers).

We all like the Taskmaster TV programme, which helped I think.

We live Outsmarted too. There are lots of sets of questions as add-ons and can be tailored for adults and children. We play either together or against family on video call, over WhatsApp. We sometimes have the English vs the Portuguese family, or three sets of 2, with the youngsters against the adults. There are little figurines for the playing pieces, my youngest grandson wanted the one with "hair like grannie's". It was Albert Einstein with a mop of wild grey hair .
We also enjoy Junior charades when we are together.

‘Do you really know your family’ isn’t a very competitive game as such, but boy does it case hilarity! Only about £12, suitable for all ages.

Not actually a board game, but we love "Dumb Questions".

So many wonderful ideas - thank you! I am making a list ....

Another heads up here for Ticket to Ride, only played the Europe version but it kept me on my toes and wanting to play again soon, and I usually struggle with board games.

We often play Ticket to Ride, Labyrinth or Herd Mentality - ages 10 to 12. For a different card game we like SkyJo
