recommendations for family game 9 year old

[Starlight2345]

There are 2 of us DS and myself.

I always buy a game for Christmas to play

I have the Monopoly , game of life, cluedo , loads of lego games.

Any recommendations greatfully received.

Quirkle! It's fab 😀

Carcassone (Original or Hunters and Gatherers or Star Wars edition)
Hotel Tycoon
Qwirkle
Alhambra
King of Tokyo
Ticket to Ride

oooh that looks good .. not seen that before..That is on my shortlist now....does it work well for 2 people

Qwirkle works just fine for 2 people. We enjoy it here, too. :

Family Trivial pursuit. Two question boxes. The adults get harder questions than children.

Dobble is good.

Yep Qwirkle works for 2 and once the kids (start) getting competitive it can get v entertaining 😀

Another vote for family triv... my 9 year old DS loves it

Labyrinth
We love Qwirkle too, I got the travel edition as it fits on a coffee table much easier (where we tend to play)
Have you got Dobble?

Speak Out. Had our two (plus me and DH) in hysterics.

Labyrinth we have I love.

Dobble is looking good too.

Does the ticket to ride work for 2 as well read one review saying no but looks good.

I couldn't think of anything now I am getting a short list thank you.

You could get one of the sub versions of ticket to ride which is more compact so I think better for smaller numbers of people. The Europe one maybe?

But qwirkle would be my top suggestion!

We love Enchanted Forest.

Another vote for Family Trivial Pursuit, 9 year old twins love it

Dobble is a fun quick game but more shallow, your looking for symbols and being the quickest to call out - we have an enjoy but Qwirkle is much meatier and more enjoyable to settle into and have a good game.

We got ticket to ride last year, only played it twice but already love it - great game I have been told there are different versions and one in particular is good to get for two players.
We are getting Camels up this year have heard great things about it on here and great amazon reviews, it looks like great fun.
We also have enchanted forrest, its a lovely game but not as meaty as qwrikle or ticket to ride as its more about memory rather than longer game strategy.

My 9yo loves Sleeping Queens, Sushi Go, Marrakech

we have also just ordered Jaipur another one thats recommended for two and looks more meaty.

Glad to hear good things about qwirkle just got that for our DD age 10.

This game (elements) is specifically for two players :)

Dobble is fun, but quick and only so long you can stare at the cards looking for symbols!

Our vote is also for Labyrinth all my dc love it (5,8,11)

Camel up is our family fave. We have a huge cupboard filled with board games and camel up is by far the one that comes out the most.
