Family Board Games

Family Board Games

Family board games here split roughly into three kinds. Classics like chess, draughts and snakes and ladders need no explanation and suit a wide age range at once, which makes them the safe pick for a mixed group. Party and quiz-style games, from a compendium of party games to a spot-the-difference or find-it-fast challenge, are built around a short, sociable round rather than a long strategic game, and suit an evening with more people than a classic board game comfortably seats. Compact and travel formats, including dominoes in a tin and pocket-sized card games, trade board size for portability, which is what makes them the ones that actually get packed for a car journey or a holiday rather than left on a shelf.

University Games supplies the largest spread here, including the Party Game Night compendium, Where's Wally Find It Fast, What's Up? and adult titles like Yes No. Lagoon covers wooden classics including dominoes in a tin and a draughts board. HTI supplies Snakes and Ladders and a premium playing cards pack. For adult party formats see Murder Mystery.
