Moms/Dads - I know how it feels to be desperate for your teen/YA to hang out with you. Here's some games you can suggest that they will actually WANT to play with you!
Another hit with the family - you have to see how much you can think alike. Good for a few laughs! Another good one to also play with visiting Grandparents, too. G-rated. ;)
Blank Slate Board Game
FUN for all ages - we play this with our kids, young adults, and other couples! We can play for hours! I don't know why no one has heard of this game because it's always a hit.
Wizard Card Game: the Ultimate Game of Trump! (Other)
FULL DISCLOSURE - This game is NOT for children. Yes, we play it with our children, but our family is very open. You have to be mentally prepared to discuss VERY dirty and off-color topics. We never laugh harder then when we play this game, though! Literally, crying laughing.
Cards Against Humanity
Another game the teens/young adults will actually play with us. Easy and fun!
Farkle Dice Game
My 18-22yos will still HAPPILY play this with us! It was their favorite when they were younger, and still today. Seeing cards shot straight into your siblings face never gets old, apparently.
UNO Attack Card Game, Gifts for Kids and Family Night, Card Launcher
If you love to be right, this is the game for you! We have both versions and it's always fun with a crowd.
North Star Games Age 8+ Wits and Wagers Party Edition Board Game for 4+ Players
Apparently my family is obsessed with being right because it's a theme among games we love. This game is strangely satisfying and the young adults are always up for playing!
Oddly Obvious! Endless Games Card Game Party Family Factory Sealed NEW
Another fun game for all ages. Super fast, and super loud. Especially if everyone is drinking cocktails. ;)
Tenzi Child Party Pack Game Dice Games, Multicolor
Another card game that my family actually enjoys! We also play another variation of this with 5-6 people - everyone has their own deck of cards and we all just play off each other's cards that are put in the middle. It can get a little violent but it's always fun!
Solitaire for Two Board Game
This is a LONG game so start in early in the evening - but it's always fun with a group!
Phase 10 Card Game
Kind of like Cards Against Humanity but way cleaner. Still funny, though! There are different versions that are not as family-friendly, too. All fun!
What Do You Meme? Family Pets Only Edition Card Game
Another hit card game for the fam!
Skip-Bo Card Game
Another off-shoot of What do you Meme - this one is funny, too! We played this with the Grandparents and it was extra comical for some reason.
New Phone, Who Dis? The Offline Text Message Party Game
OK, I know this one is obvious but my family didn't play cornhole growing up, so I discovered this as an adult. Always a fun competition for all the ages - 8-88!
GoSports 3 x 2 ft American Flag Design Cornhole Game Set - Includes Two 3 x 2 ft Boards, 8 Bean Bags, and Carry Case
