Tickets to ride. Meaty, fun.. Attractive.

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 23/09/2017 13:14

Ours love Coppit. Not a board game, but Exploding Kittens is very popular with my DC too.

BrieAndChilli · 23/09/2017 13:17

My 10 year olds favourite board games are the Wikipedia game and Timeline

GrouchingTiggerHiddenSomething · 23/09/2017 13:18

King of Tokyo is good fun.

motherofluvlies · 23/09/2017 13:20

Articulate,exploding kittens

VanillaSugar · 23/09/2017 13:21

Monopoly and Cluedo. The oldies are the best!!

coolaschmoola · 23/09/2017 13:22

Game of Life - another oldie, but brilliant!

FrogTime · 23/09/2017 13:22

Ticket to ride. We're buying the German version this year. Already have the original north America, Europe, UK/Pennsylvania expansion and Rails & Sails edition.

They've just made a 6+ version for kids, just need DD to grow a few years!

I realise I sound mighty nerdy and a bit sad at this point but it really is a good game! 😂

EllaHen · 23/09/2017 13:25

Yy to Ticket To Ride and Exploding Kittens.

I'll add Carcassonne and 221B Baker Street.

My kids love these and poker. Grin

eyebrowsonfleek · 23/09/2017 13:28

Blackjack, Exploding Kittens, King of Tokyo are faves here.

Fluffysparks · 23/09/2017 13:52

Settlers of Catan, quite hard to learn but easy and very rewarding when picked up Wink

ToniMumsnet · 23/09/2017 13:57

Carcasonne is a fantastic game that our whole family plays. Labrinth is great as well. If you want to try a card game Flux is really funny too and portable.

SunSeptember · 23/09/2017 13:58

Must add we have loads and in terms of ease exploding kittens is a winner, dd loves it

bellabelly · 23/09/2017 14:10

Camel Up is great!

iklboo · 23/09/2017 14:12

Love Exploding Kittens too

EveryoneTalkAboutPopMusic · 23/09/2017 14:13

Forgot Camel Up! How could I?

MrsJamin · 23/09/2017 14:14

My votes would be for carcassonne and then labyrinth too. The traders addition to carcassonne is great once you have the Base game too.

snowmanshoes · 23/09/2017 16:09

cluedo and monopoly tycoon, eldest dd has requested mysterium this year after playing it at a friends and really enjoying it

Bintang · 23/09/2017 18:49

Catan, ticket to ride, Dixit, scythe, my 11yo loves android netrunner, but it's 2 player only.

Redglitter · 23/09/2017 18:51

Frustration is the favourite in our house

PepeLePew · 23/09/2017 18:54

Camel Up.
Exploding Kittens.
Ticket to Ride.
Also, Racing Demon is enormous fun and very noisy (but cards rather than board).

SpringBreak · 23/09/2017 18:58

Monopoly!

ILikeThatSong123 · 23/09/2017 19:03

Game of Life and Labyrinth. We bought them for last Christmas for then 11 y/old dd. We still play with them and enjoy every so often.

2014newme · 28/09/2017 13:11

Thanks all so much! Some great ideas here for games I'd never heard of. The more traditional ones we already have. I've made a note of them all we have birthdays and Xmas coming up so should be able to get a good selection
