2019 – Year in Review

2019 marked a huge milestone for The Board Game Family. We celebrated 10 years of doing family board game reviews!

With our video reviews hitting 2 million views and our written reviews and articles being read by millions more, it’s been an amazing 10 years.

But today’s not about looking back on all 10 years (we’ve already done that). Instead, we’re just looking back at 2019.

As I’ve done at the start of each year, let’s take a quick look back at the games we’ve enjoyed the most from 2019.

Who wants to win some Trophies?

I guess I should really ask, “who doesn’t want to win a trophy?” After all, don’t we all love the accolades that come with winning a trophy?

We may not want another thing to dust on our shelves, the the joy of winning something can last a long time.

And it may be even better when you can win a trophy in under 10 minutes!

That’s the way it is in the new game, Trophies, by Facade Games.

3 days of gaming ahead – ready for SaltCon!

Once February rolls around, I get a little anxious.

It’s not because I don’t know what to get my sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. But rather because I can hardly wait for SaltCon in just a few weeks!

SaltCon is a board game convention in Salt Lake City, Utah for anyone who enjoys playing games. And it keeps getting bigger every year.

For me it means 3 steady days of playing tons of games and reconnecting with tons of friends. So I can’t wait!

Wits and Wagers Party is another big hit

Wits and Wagers Party is another fantastic family party game from North Star Games! It brings the best of both worlds from the original Wits & Wagers game and the Wits & Wagers Family Edition, but adds a twist that we really like.

Creative Fun with Say Anything Family Edition

The publishers of the great family game Wits & Wagers Family are at it again with another fantastic family board game in their game lineup – Say Anything Family Edition.

Like North Star Games did with Wits & Wagers Family, they took a great game that they had made previously and changed it up a little to appeal to families who want to play games with their kids. And we say – “Fantastic!”
