Best family board games (DC age 7 and 10)

[Theonlyoneiknow]

Hi All

We have the usual suspects - dobble, uno , labyrinth, bugs in my kitchen, cludo, monopoly.

Looking for some board game recommendations to add to our list?

Many Thanks in advance!

Pooh, watching with interest!

Our 7-nearly-8 yo loves Rummikub and Monopoly (with different rules!).

Ooh not pooh

Carcassonne is a must.

Uno extreme, youngest 4 at the time found it quite funny she had over 20 cards

Settlers of Catan is great as is Carcassone/Ticket to ride - the various monopolies/Pandemic
More child friendly- Sleeping Queens/Rata tat cat
Others- frustration , Farmer game (can't remember if that's its actual name?) castle panic, forbidden desert, Pit

we were playing a game called the London Game last night- this was a game from DP's childhood

@Turniptracker We love Dixit too, it's beautiful. It encourages creative thought, has very interesting illustrations and can be quite easily enjoyed by any age or any ages mixed in a group. The only thing is that you really want 4 players or more.

Sorry!

It's not available in shops in the uk, but you can buy it on amazon. Basically, it's a bitch version of Ludo.... so simple to play, but you get to kill each other. In our house this creates, people building alliances and getting even etc....

@TheonlyoneIknow just go for the basic Carcassonne www.amazon.co.uk/Z-Man-Games-Carcassonne-Board-Game/dp/B00NX627HW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=Carcassonne&qid=1574334846&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTlBBWVRDUTAzSzk0JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTY4MzA1MVZCQkJRNVA4WTdKUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTY2NDE0MUpBN1daVDZRMTVBWiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3Bob25lX3NlYXJjaF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl

You can add expansions later. Same with Catan www.amazon.co.uk/Catan-CN3071-Board-Game-Multi-color/dp/B00U26V4VQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?keywords=catan&qid=1574334993&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRFhJV0NDOUY5OFA5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDM3Njk0M0NJTzhNMUZYUU1OJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxNjMyODIzMTZRSzBOWEdPSTgyJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Extensions add lots of different game play but best to start with the basic game. Plus extensions require the basic game anyway.

Forbidden Island is great fun. We play that with our 8 year old and teenagers, the 4 year old joins in with a bit of help. It's great because you play as a team against the game so no tantrums when someone loses!

Colt Express is fun, and a bit different.

Thanks for this thread! I have 10, 8 & 4 year old. We manage monopoly, Uno and exploding kittens. Labyrinth is too tricky for youngest at the moment. Looking forward to the season of board games 😁

There is a new jumanji game that looks good and one called 5 second rule where you have to think of as many items relating to a category in 5 seconds - these are on my list

Another one saying Dixit

Exloding kittens and Werewolf

Qwirkle is a great game. Mine are 6,8 and 11, and the 6 year old can beat us all playing qwirkle if she gets the right tiles and puts her mind to it. Also nice and easy to take away - it always comes on holiday with us!

Kingdomino is a great one.

Bunny kingdoms
Rummikub
Carcassone
Dragonwood
Zeus on the loose
Lords of Waterdeep

Quirkle
Unstable unicorns
Fluxx
Labyrinth
Takenoko

This is the thread I needed!Thanks
@hiphiphoorayback which Ticket To Ride?Do you have to buy an original Europe one(expensive) or can I buy London one?

We have the North American, which I think is the original but the Europe is meant to be really good too.
