Game Night Must Haves
17
items If you’re an extroverted introvert like me, then you love a good game night in. My family has always loved games. Both sets of grandparents instilled that in us. I have games for every kind of occasion- family night, date night, adult game night, and...
This game is so silly and fun. Great for the whole family, or even an adult game night with some drinks in hand.
Happy Salmon Card Game
My favorite game to bring to a game night. Super quick and easy to learn. Also great for working on word recall, describing, and vocabulary for kids. I often use this in speech therapy with my middle and high school students.
Spot It
Love having a waterproof version of quick card games for days by the pool, at the beach, resort vacations, or hot tub evenings.
UNO Splash Card Game
For those who like a longer, more strategy based game, this is a must have. Still easy to learn but can take time to master. We always come back to this classic.
CATAN The Game

We’re always looking for games that don’t require a lot of verbal communication since my mother in law and I do not speak the same language. This is a great game to really exercise your brain, looking for ways to put numbers together in different way...
Rummikub
Always a group favorite. So funny to hear what kind of responses everyone comes up. Makes you think creatively so that you don’t come up with the same answers as other people. If you like fast paced, word based games, this is a must.
Scattergories Game
My grandparents always loved a good card game. We spent many evenings as a family playing this game late into the night. Some skill and some luck involved. Easy to learn and incredibly addictive. It’ll always remind me of fun evenings with my grandpa...
Five Crowns Card Game
Love that this can be a two player game. Great for the whole family, but also fun for a simple date night in. We used to play this a lot growing up. It’s like a card/board game version of connect four.
SEQUENCE Board Game
Bring your best poker face to this game! Outwit, outplay, outlast! Fun game for adult game night for the more serious board game/strategy players
Coup
My brother and sister in law taught us this game earlier this year. I’m terrible, but I’m addicted 😂 Just a new strategy game I’m determined to master. If you have a board game lover in your life, they need to add this to their collection.
Splendor Board Game: Strategy Game
Great game night game for the whole family. We recently played this with my extended family, including children as young as 6 up to my 108 year old grandma (yes, she’s really 108 years old lol)
Blank Slate Board Game
Always a classic for kids and adults. I love using it in speech therapy as a reward activity (I’m a speech therapist). All ages love it- elementary through high school.
Jenga Board Game
The woman in my family love their mahjong. My aunts and grandma have groups they play with regularly. This is a nice basic set that’s reasonably priced. Some sets are upwards of $400, so if you know someone who is interested in getting into mahjong, ...
Mahjong
My family just played this for game night. We played with my extended family. So fun! Good way to see how well you know each other. It’s a cooperative game with lots of discussion. Easy to learn. Great party game!
Dyce Games First to Worst Party Game
My brother got this game for Christmas. We’ve already played it several times. It’s quick to learn, very quick play (no turn taking, just go as fast as you can), and silly cat celeb names. Anyone will love this one!
Ginger Fox Cat Chaos Card Swapping Game
I hadn’t played this game in years, but we recently played with my family. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. Tests your knowledge and creative skills. Such a fun family game!
Cranium Classic
Cute, fun game that tests your spatial reasoning skills. Easy to learn!
Abducktion - Strategic Duck Kidnapping Game
