Good family game/boardgame
Heading to some relatives for Christmas and want to bring a cool board-game for them. Younger couple (mid 40's), two daughters roughly 10 and 14.
Any ideas? |
Classics:
Trivial Pursuit Pictionary Risk Scrabble Parceesi My family used to get pretty serious about the Pictionary and Trivial Pursuit battles over the holidays. |
Settlers of Catan - You can thank me later.
The following are card games, but nothing like a standard deck of cards type games.... Dominion Bonanza - (nothing to do with the tv show) |
Rummicub. Not sure about the ages but its pretty easy to play and tons of fun.
|
Perudo-The ganme of Peruvian liar dice, great game
Mexican Train, really great game Balderdash-really funny. these are a little more fun than your classic board games, all easy to learn. Can be use as drinking games as well for the adults. |

+1 for Settlers of Catan
A2A is also fun, but we end up just making up our own categories |
The Monopoly card game was a hit last year during the holidays for us. Really entertaining and it only takes about 15 minutes a game... not the 3 to 4 hours the board game used to take us. :-)

My family loves playing Quiddler. The kids get into too.

Cranium, my family like any of the Cranium style games.
I like "Things" |
25 words or less is a fun game. Teams bid on words needed to get your team to guess 5 words.
