Any recommendations? I'm looking for a board game the whole family can play. Something a step up from those Orchard games. Maybe a classic like junior game of life or something new. Nothing messy or rude themed like that doggy poo one. I have enough of that chat as it is. Confused
He's pretty smart but want to avoid anything too difficult that he'll just get fed up with quickly.

DD loves monopoly junior and I enjoyed it better than the full game!
She also has Guess Who? but it's taken ages to get her to understand how to play it!!

Outfoxed, as mentioned above. Perfect for. 5 year old.
Dobble (lots of variants now - DD just got a Harry Potter one)
Brain box games - all sorts of themes, question and answers.

Thank you for all the suggestions. A few I've heard of and lots of new ones... I like the collaborative idea. I never knew that was a thing. I discovered we do have a games cafe nearby so might take Ds there and see what he's drawn too. Will have a look at all suggestions.
