Family Favorites

Here are some of our favorite games to play as a family.

There’s nothing quite like gathering around a table and having a bunch of fun together as a family. There are so many options available in games, that we can always find one that fits the mood we’re in that day/evening/night. These are the board and card games that we’ve posted reviews for on our site and collectively rate 4 (out of 5) or above and love to play together. Are they the best family board games and card games ever? That’s for you to decide. But we believe they’re certainly some of the best family board games out there.

See if your family might enjoy some of these games too. You can also see what we consider to be the Top 10 “Must-Have” Family Board Games and Top 10 “Must Have” Family Card Games.

There are also a bunch of games that we love to play but haven’t reviewed yet. So keep your eye out for reviews on these others that we love:

  • Apples to Apples Junior
  • Pandemic: On the Brink

A new feature that we’re adding to our updated website is the Ratings chart at the bottom of each written review. So rather than just hear the rating from the person in the video review, you can see how everyone in the family rates each game.
