Joggle. It’s very simple but very competitive. Kids & adults all love it.

Homethroughthepuddles · 06/11/2018 16:12

Scrabble.

MaruMaru · 06/11/2018 16:16

Does Yahtzee count as a board game????? It's a great game.

GeminiRising · 06/11/2018 16:18

If you want something a bit different and interesting, try Quelf!

KingLooieCatz · 06/11/2018 16:19

Carcassonne.
Escape the Curse of the Temple.
Ticket to Ride.
Rumble in the Jungle.

I was nearly banned from Warhammer shop for saying Escape the Curse of the Temple is the board game ever. Had to backpedal rapidly to "best family cooperative game".

DS took issue with the blurb on the back of a Chess book, that said chess was the best game ever invented. He reckons it's Frustration.

Pandemic no 1 in our house, the two legacy games have been amazing to play. Throwing away the game when you have finished is tough though.

Firefly!

But you have to be a fan of the TV series really to get it.

ScribblyGum · 06/11/2018 16:49

Ooh Firefly is great! You have to set aside a whole evening to play it though, and it’s MASSIVE.
