Game ideas for 10 yo boy

[Annoyed200722]

As per the titles, what are the best games for this age group please?

DS loves board games, and currently really enjoys Catan, Ticket to Ride, Exploding Kittens and Labyrinth.

Jumanji
Cluedo
7 Wonders
Pandemic
Risk
Scotland Yard
Kids Against Maturity
Herd Mentality

Blokus
Qwirkle
Rummikub
Monopoly

All the above, but also Splendor. Patchwork or Jaipur for a 2 player.

Oh and King of Tokyo!

Thanks everyone. We have a few of these already, but lots of suggestions that I've not even heard of, so will do some research and no doubt choose one or two of these suggestions.

My son has enjoyed The Genius Square from The Happy Puzzle Company

Dobble

Bears Vs Babies
Happy little dinosaurs
Throw throw burrito
The minecraft board game
Wingspan
Uno

Thanks for these suggestions.
AblindAssassin is the Minecraft game actually any good? DA has mentioned it, but I had assumed it wouldn't be great. TIA

My 9 yo loves (and I mean really loves) Dixit. Lots of expansions available too.

My DS also loved board games at that age - as well as the ones you mentioned he liked Munchkins, King of Tokyo, Sushi Go Party, Forbidden island and Carcassonne .

The Minecraft-themed boardgame mentioned upthread www.board-game.co.uk/product/minecraft-board-game/ is indeed very good. Very playable with interesting strategy options, ideal for this age group.

Also recommended:
Colt Express
Carcassonne
Santorini
Blokus
Patchwork
Castles of Mad King Ludwig
Imhotep
The Captain is Dead

Would he be interested in chess?
Draughts was (and still is) my favourite game at that age.

Does no one just play Connect 4 and Hungry Hungry Hippos anymore 😂

Mousetrap

@girlmom21 classic Mousetrap I hope. The new version is pants.

Sorry for the late reply!

Yes the minecraft board game (the original one, we don't have the newer one) is great! It's a bit like Splendour. We have had it for a couple of years and it still gers played regularly and we find new winning strategies etc.

Card game wise our ds loves monopoly deal, and it's much quicker than the original board game!

If he likes noughts and crosses, try Otrio. My 10 year old loves it.

Some great suggestions above that my nearly 10 year old likes. Also,
-Quacks of Quenlinburg
-Sandwich Masters (card game)
-Sequence

Takenoko is a current favourite here. Carcassonne is good too.

There are some great two player games my 9 and 11yos enjoy - Hive, Tatsu and Shobu are all good

Throw throw burrito and Cards Against Humanity family edition are both fun and a bit rowdier.

Forbidden desert
Sushi go
Beginner's guide to dungeons and dragons
Poetry for Neanderthals
Taco cat goat cheese pizza (haven't tried this but it looks fun)

And for a longer term game, our family loved The adventures of Robin Hood (from Kosmos) - a co-operative game that's a bit Choose your Own Adventure.

My sons favourite are

Throw throw burrito
Mario game of life
Normal game of life
Catan
Pandemic
Ticket to ride
Herd mentality

We accidentally have two copies of The Captain Is Dead, and it’s the hardest game I’ve ever played! I just let DS tell me what to do every turn. Left to myself the ship would explode or be overrun by aliens or whatever every time, while I just flailed.

Hive
Wingspan
Agricola
Caverna
Nusfjord
At the Gates of Loyang
