Ideas

What age group?

11-13 t love game of life,it's never mentioned in these threads but my two love it.
Bananagrams also another popular one in our house.

Pit is fantastic. So fast, and so much fun.

One of the best and simplest card games for a mixed age, mixed ability group is Newmarket. Save a bit of small change (1p & 2p’s) to give the children a little money and play for pennies (the kids get to keep their winnings) Short games with a potential to win five times in each game, easy to teach and works for groups from three to twenty people playing.

My ds loves the card game uno and heads up? I think it’s called you can download it on your phone whenever his friends are round they always play it.

Dobble and uno are suitable for everyone. Easy to learn and fun to play

I'd second Dobble, mine seem to love it. And Uno.

Age group? number of players(roughly)?

Yes, Newmarket is great. I used to love playing it with grandparents when I was a child.

Have age range of 10 to 75

Love Letter is good. It’s a very simple card game.

Qwerkle is amazing and very easy to play for a wide range of ages.

Looking at following games

These

Obama Llama is daft fun

Simple ones that even Uncle Bernard can pick up after a morning on the cooking sherry include No Thanks and Skull.

More involved games that work well with lots of people include Masquarade, Sushi Go, Coup and Anomia.

Racing Demon is another old faithful that doesn’t need anything more than normal playing cards.

Camel Up, Isle of Skye, Dixit and Port Royal are some of our favourite games to play as a family.

Bears vs Babies is fun.

Ours all like game of life, monopoly, king of Tokyo and Labryinth too

Phase 10 is great for adults or anyone who has outgrown UNO.

Exploding kittens is good!
