Board game suggestions please

[frostymornings]

To occupy my intelligent, but very fed up with lockdown, 16 year old DS! We've been playing a lot of Scrabble (at around 10pm when he is fully alert!). Looking for suggestions for something to challenge him but not too tricky for his ancient mum
Thanks

I always loved 'Guess Who' when i was little and I know that a more modern version of it has been made in the last few years. It's a great board game for any age group

Catan is excellent. Carcassonne is also enjoyed in our family.

Ooh we like Carcasonne. Not heard of Catan, will have a look.

Rummikub is fun. The app is free on iTunes. Also Tripoley is good

Azul, Bananagrams

Codenames... I love it and there is an online version you can play over video call too.

Ticket to ride.

Forbidden dessert for a cooperative game

Great suggestions here, thank you

Catan is great.

Pandemic - it's a strategic cooperative game and it's really good

Patchwork and Splendour both good for 2 player, also Catan / Ticket to Ride as already suggested

I also like King of Tokyo. It's a good mix of strategy and chance

Splendor
Ticket to ride
Exploding kittens
Azul
Clue

Oh theres only 2 of you - clue will take forever.

My 16 year old is liking rummikub, forbidden island, catan, labyrinth, ticket to ride.

Or he might like these escape room games?

Avalon- great if there’s a few of you to play.

Tsuro path of the dragon is a lovely gentle game.

Yahtzee! We got it for Christmas and have played it almost every day since then

Mastermind is an old one but challenging.
Rummikub is one of our favourites too.
I also really like Yahtzee and Othello.

(Tho none of these are 'board games')

Oh gosh so many to look at, thanks so much! We do love board games but have become a bit stale and need something more challenging and fun.

Ticket to ride is fab.

Catan, ticket to ride and 221B Baker Street are favourites here

Cards against humanity.

Oooh, Pandemic (no, really) it's simply one of the best board games ever made. It's cooperative so either everyone wins or the game beats you - so really good for family bonding.

Plus once you've got familiar with base pandemic there are a million extensions / different versions (Iberia / Rising Tide) and Pandemic Legacy has got DH and I through Covid - it's amazing!!
