Top trumps (warning - it's boring!)

Fortunately I can see into our games cupboard from where I'm sitting!

I've been playing cranium family edition tonight with a 17 & 14 yo. It says 8+ but I think we've had it since dd was not much older than 5. It's been popular throughout.

Agree with trying other card games and I find that anything with a bit of sneakiness or deception often seems to go down pretty well at this age. Have you tried Liar’s Dice/Perudo?

Rat a tat cat was our next favourite after sleeping queens. Also rummikub, Top Trumps, Ruckus (we had the Deadly 60 version but lots of other themed ones) and card games like racing demon. We had lots of people recommend Exploding Kittens but could never get into it!

Love sleeping queens.

Ticket to ride
Frog juice
Zeus on the loose

Sushi Go is great and the pictures are so cute
Zeus on the Loose is great for numeracy
Exploding kittens is good but not till she's older. The pictures and humour are a bit weird for a 5 year old.
Enchanted Forest is a big favourite here though it's not a card game.

She's getting enchanted forest for Christmas from her uncle I'm quite looking forward to that.

Rat a tat cat she had for her bday and really enjoys.

I'll leave exploding kittens for a while 😊 were going to a board game shop today so I'll have a look at some of the others mentioned.

Thank you!
