Board game recommendations

[3wheels]

Hi, can you please recommend some good board games for 2 adults and an 8 and 10 year old. We're self isolating this half term so it'll give us something else to do if I order some up. Thanks

MNHQ Update
This thread is a little out of date now, but if you've landed here while on the hunt for board game recommendations, our guide to the best family board games has been recently updated to reflect current availability and popularity. It includes a wide range of board game options, from strategic to silly - all tried, tested and recommended by Mumsnetters. We hope it's of some help!

Eye Know 👀

Harry Potter Don't get you know who! Card game. Basically, a version of Old Maid. My 6yo and 11yo love it.

Love playing Sevens with just a pack of cards too with the older DC.

Qwirkle, Tantrix, Mind The Gap all favourites in this house.

Labyrinth also fab.

I just wanted to make a correction "Creepy Creatures".....that should say Campy Creatures by Keymaster games

Genius square. My 8 and 5 year old DSs love this. We can all play and it keeps them quiet for hours. Nice and simple and portable.

Not a board game but Dobble is brilliant

Trekking the World is strategic and good fun. Lots of opportunities to calculate the best response to a choice of ways to use your turn. Also a chance to become more familiar with the world map and major cities/heritage sites.

Also not a traditional board game but Bananagrams is brilliant (I think you can get an easier version aimed for children)

Jumanji is great and not too long, Avengers Monopoly likewise.

We have European Ticket to Ride, which is a bit more approachable for the dc than the original US one.

We also enjoy The Magic Labyrinth (different to Labyrinth), Qwirkle, Risk and Sorry! (V retro, but it was in a holiday cottage a few years ago, and we bought one on eBay).
