Sort the reviews however you’d like.

With that in mind, here are a few starters on where to look:

First, take a look at our Find a Game table. It’s a list of the close to 200 board games and card games that we’ve reviewed over the past 4 years. You can sort the list by Number of Players, Age, Game Length, or our average family Rating to find just what you’re looking for.

You can also take a look at the list sorted by the ratings according to each family member. So if you’re looking for a game that younger kids might enjoy, sort the list by Caleb or Brooke to see the games they’ve rated the highest.

Second, see what our Favorite Board Games are by family member:

Ticket to Ride: Europe
Ticket to Ride is a “Must Have” family board game.

Third, see what we consider the Top 10 Must-Have Family Board Games and Top 10 Must-Have Family Card Games. If you’ve never played some of these games, then this is the year to play them!

Fourth, here are some of our favorite board games we played this year. Our Top X Best Board Games lists were made a year ago and we’ve played some great games since then. Our Must-Have Board Games and Card Games were written 3 years ago and there are definitely some games since then that we’d add to the list.

So if you’re looking for a new game, check out our favorite games we reviewed in 2013.
