Board Games

[Jules2011]

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good board game for a pre teen and a just teen. We have:
Monopoly
Quirkle
Cluedo
Trival Pursuit
Escape from Atlantis
Tension
Game of Life

So looking for some others to play at Christmas, ideally not too likely to cause an argument 😂

Articulate.
My DD telling me we should play Among Us at Christmas.

[MyGhastIsFlabbered]

@JauntyMcGinty I have had to ban Among Us here but it still doesn't stop DS2 talking about it non-stop

[Jules2011]

Thanks everyone!

[JiltedJohnsJulie]

Why've you had to ban Among Us MyGhast?

[footchewer]

Ticket to Ride seems good (just learning it with DCs at the moment)

Seconded re Carcassonne - long term fan here.

Forbidden Island also good (a co-operative game where you all either win or all lose)

The family version of Cards Against Humanity is called Apples to Apples and is more fun than the toilet-humour one IMO.

Onitama is also nice - a bit like mini-chess that takes much less time.

FWIW quite a lot of these can be tried out on Chromebook / iPad first - check out Asmodee Digital games on the app stores. HTH

[CuteOrangeElephant]

Ticket to Ride
Carcassonne
Settlers of Catan
Machi Koro is also really fun and quite easy to understand

[XelaM]

Chess
Scrabble
