Can anybody recommend board games apart from the obvious? Exploding Kittens?

[nostaples]

As above. TIA.

How many people, and what style of game (party game like exploding kittens / strategy / family ...?)

EK is fun but not a board game as such.

Ticket To Ride? Articulate? Linkee is good.

Ticket to Ride is awesome.

For older children and adults, (simply because it takes a bit of brain power to keep up with changing rules) Fluxx are really fun card games.

Colour Brain!

Thanks all. Will look into those.

I can recommend hundreds but would need to know ages and some details of what kinds of things the players like?

Agree with rummikub, letters or numbers.

We've rediscovered boku.

Kids? Dobble is brilliant.

And learning new card games. 9 card brag is my current fave.

We got ticket to ride at Christmas and we love it.

Game of Life
Pandemic 🙈

We like Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Qwirkle, Azul.

Children are older teens. We like Pictionary, Balderdash, Monopoly and Pit. Bought a couple of new ones recently that were disappointing - stacking cats and Forbidden Island.

I generally hate all games as my over competitive sister ruined most in childhood, but I love Ticket to Ride and Sorry.

New Cluedo is better in my opinion as it's a lot easier for my sn daughter.

Plain old Knock out whist is a good card game.

What ages and how many players? Dh is a huge game enthusiast and we have 300+ games. A few of my favourites that suit all of our family (4yo sometime needs a little help but 6yo can manage these) are Quacks of Quedlinberg (probably my favourite), Takenoko, Barenpark, patchwork (2player only), Azul, Sagrada, Tiny Towns, Welcome to, King of Tokyo,

Others that the kids might find trickier due to more complicated rules or just being trickier: Suburbia, Brass Birmingham, dice hospital, Racoon Tycoon.

Sushi go, Cards against humanity family edition and Monopoly Deal.

We love Codenames - it's brilliant

Bloodrage, 7 Wonders, Splendour, Small world (my fave!)

Some good two player ones: Jaipur, Targi, 7 Wonders Duel

Really Nasty Horse Racing game. Looks a simple and slightly boring game until you realise the potential for absolutely fucking over your nearest and dearest.

Rummikub 100%, people of all ages love it.

Card games are always good : I agree Knock Out Whist is the best. We also like War to play in a pair with lots of time to kill (which we all have...).

DS and I played TTR obsessively : haven't had a game for a while (plans for later!)

Also for little ones, Candyland (confession: still play it with 16 year old every Sunday!)

Bears and babies is hilarious, if you like exploding kittens.
Scythe, Risk, Axis and Allies, Diplomacy (if you want one that you need to commit to), good old-fashioned D&D.

Ticket To Ride, Splendour (if there’s only four of you), Settlers of Catan, Scrabble (classic), Carcassone

The really nasty horse racing game! Love it
