Board games

[Devo1818]

Can anyone recommend a board game suitable for adults as well as a 6 and 4 year old? Thanks!

Obviously card games etc too, not just board games

My 5 year old loves a Harry Potter game, it's the one where it's a bit like monopoly

We like ticket to ride London.

This game is nice and fun.

Ravensburger games generally are good too.

Junior Scotland Yard and labyrinth are great hits with mine, similar ages

Tummy Ache from Orchard Toys always goes down well

Kersplat is a great game for those ages. Good intro to board games. It’s frustration with playdoh with the added advantage that there is still always a chance to win even if behind.

Labyrinth is fab. We have been playing it for 20 years! (Not continuously) 😄

The card game UNO
Also DOBBLE - circular cards in a little round tin
these are both great for holidays, trips & days out as small & portable.

Castle Panic

The sock game is brilliant fun, great for adults and kids and very quick to learn. Two teams, a sock full of random small objects - both players have to race to find a specific piece in the sock without looking.

I love Cluedo and monopoly but the 4 year old might get slightly bored

Bugs in the kitchen!

I second Dobble and Uno too. And the sock game.

Frustration

4yo is a bit young for games that adults will actually enjoy though. But acceptable games we like...

• labyrinth junior
• dobble
• uno junior
• sleeping queens

Dobble and Dweebies, both card games.

Mexican Train Dominoes and Qwirkle.

For your children's ages, Sleeping Queens is a must. I have so many memories of my parents playing it with my two.

Exploding Kittens is also fun.

Blokus
Ticket to Ride
Carcassonne

Sorry or Frustration

And Tummy Ache is fab.

This is fab for 4+ and also fun for adults:

Ravensburger Enchanted Forest Classic Family Board Game for Kids Age 4 Years and Up - Magical Treasure Hunt amzn.eu/536h9yd

We love blockus and uno in this house, DS is 6.5. Think he might have struggled with these a bit at 4. One game that we still play now that he also enjoyed at 4 is What A Performance (Orchard Toys).

We play uno with all ages but what I found is our uno disney version is easier for the younger ones. We didn’t go for uno junior but chose this uno disney instead . They match on number or colour as normal but having the pictures of dumbo or bambi in the middle helped. Now they’re older we still play this version most.
also Enjoy dobble, blokus, frustration and monopoly empire as it’s much simpler

Apples to Apples

Quirkle is probably the best game for all ages. Smaller kids can play at a very simple level alongside adults playing quite competitively for scores.

Junior Monopoly is also not too bad for adults.

it does depend on the 4 year old though. One of mine was very engaged with games at that age and the other had little focus.

Games like Thinkfun and Smart Games are often a bit different and transcend age groups.

Also Bugs in the Kitchen, Blokus, Labyrinth, Dobble

So many lovely ideas, thanks everyone
