We love playing this version of Catan with the kids!
Catan Junior Game by Klaus Teuber by Asmodee
Â
High level of strategy, but a very entertaining family friendly game. We also love Splendor Duel for 2 players!
A new favorite in our family! There are shorter and longer versions of this. Being able to read would be helpful in this game! It went a little over our 5yo’s head but our 8yo, couldn’t get enough.
Ticket to Ride by Alan R. Moon by DAYS OF WONDER
Â
Really great for working on descriptive words! A little difficult for younger kiddos, but worth introducing!
Guess Who?
Â
A silly as it sounds! This is a hilarious version of Old Maid. No reading required, but it can be tricky to hold a large pile of cards!
"Donut Get Stuck With A Butt" Card Game
Â
We love this game! Even my 5yo plays. I like that it doesn’t take as long as other games. It is complex, but easy to learn and catch on.
Trekking The National Parks Family Board Game: Geography Educational ...
X’s Faves - Age 5
Â
Family favorite that even 4yos will enjoy. Seriously an entertaining game for all ages that teaches strategizing, early math skills and turn taking.
Sleeping Queens Card Game by Gamewright
Â
The does require reading, but our non-reader still plays by memorizing the cards. Family favorite—It can get pretty competitive, so be warned!
Monopoly Deal by HASBRO, INC.
Â
Two options: Sushi Go and Sushi Go Party! Both are fun, Sushi Go Party! is a little harder to setup, but has more options for play to keep the game changing. Great for any age of player. Teaches math skills and planning.
Sushi Go! by Phil Walker-Harding by Gamewright
Â
There are multiple variations of this and all are great! This is where you want to start if learning how to play the Pokemon card game.
