Good Kids Games
We love the main game, but this is good for little kids - and for those with short attention spans this is the better choice!
CATAN Junior Board Game - Swashbuckling Adventure
Another kids version of a game we love! Kids can play the main version as well, it's fairly simple to learn, but this version is more kid friendly and has a shorter playtime.
Ticket to Ride First Journey Board Game - Family Fun
Super easy and fun game that the whole family can play! Plus, everything is all contained in the container it comes in, and is super portable so it can be taken to gatherings, parties, or on trips!
Big Discoveries Dumpster Dice - Family Game
Easy and fun game - The more cards you flip, the more points you can earn… unless you flip over the same number twice. Fun to see who plays it safe and who risks it all every single time
Flip 7: Ultimate Blend of Press Your Luck & Strategy
Fun quick game that anyone can play! You can play solo (if you want), and the rounds are usually pretty quick so this can be played for a short time, or for longer times with more rounds.
Shut The Box Dice Game,2-4 Player Family Game
A family favorite around here! Also a great party game. Yes, this game can be played with any spoons you want and a deck of cards - but this one is so handy to take camping or to outdoor parties where you may not want to use regular household spoons
Spoons in a Case - Travel Game, 3-6 Players
Super fun kids game with lots of suspense as you never know when your sneaking around will wake granny!

Such a fun way to play games with your kids but also work on an educational skill at the same time.
Number Hunter Math Board Game – Addition & Subtraction
A fun dice game that can be played in different ways. Is recommended for a little bit older kids (8-ish), but its a versatile game that can be played with just 2 people, or a bunch!
Qwixx: Frantic Dice Game for Ages 8+
Strategy Games
One of our favorite games to play! We can play over and over for hours - There is a kid version, which I'll add to the kids section, but our kids 7+ can play this version just fine! Plus, the number of expansions that are available means this game ca...
CATAN Board Game - Classic Strategy for Family
A fun strategy game where you get train routes, and you need to try to complete as many routes as you can - can you complete them all, or will you get blocked.. or worse - run out of trains?
Ticket to Ride
A cooperative trick-taking game! If you play it as 2 people a “third” player is added which is controlled by the captain for that round. You have to work together with little to no communication to complete each mission.
The Crew - Quest for Planet Nine Card Game
Another version of the crew that we love! the play options are endless as you draw different task cards each time. You can play through the missions 1 at a time until you complete them all (even over the course of days or weeks) or you can challenge ...
The Crew - Mission Deep Sea Card Game
Can you and your teammates put your cards in ascending numerical order? Can you do it without knowing what cards each person has AND not communicating at all through each round? This game is fun and can last a long time or be super quick - it all dep...
The Mind - Family-Friendly Card Game (2-4 Players)
2-player games
Games that can be played with just 2 people! (some of them are even created to be 2-player only!)
Super fun, fast, quick game that can be played for a round or two - or over and over again! Can be played with more than 2 people, but is still very fun if you only have a small crowd.
Piles – Card Games – Family Games
A 2-player co-op game where you work together to land a plane! Super fun game, and always a good one to have around when you want a fun quiet game night in.
Sky Team | Game of The Year 2024 | 2 Player
Such a fun money game! Fun with 2 people, but can be played up to 4 if you want!

Super fun, easy to learn and quick to play! There is also a kitten version if skeletons aren't your thing!
Couch Skeletons 2 Player Card Game
A simple game and I'm a big fan of games that can be played anywhere - I don't always want to sit at the table.
Overlap - Award-Winning Strategy Card Game
Party games
Fun party game! This game can be played quickly, or for points/on teams - it's super versatile. Plus - you'll be surprised (and sometimes aggravated at what colors seem to other people)
HUES and CUES - Vibrant Color Guessing Game
One of our favorites! Everyone knows the secret word except for the chameleon - can they blend in, or will they be caught?
The Chameleon: Bluffing Board Game for All
Another classic party favorite! Can you come up with an answer that starts with a specific letter for each question? Can you come up with a word that no one else will think of also? Super fun, and can be quick, or played round after round!
Scattergories Classic Party Game for Teens & Adults
Another favorite! Can you get your teammates to guess specific words with 1 word cryptic clues? Can your team guess all the words before the other team? Don't give the wrong clue though - if someone touches the dead word - game is OVER.
Codenames
Karaoke meets quick thinking and terrible singing! See the word and be the first to grab the mic and belt the song that includes that word!
Grab The Mic – Family Karaoke Game w/Mic
Now - I *despise* this game - BUT my family LOVES it! It's super fast paced, and super quick - and lots of fun - if you can say the right word and slap your hand down quick enough!
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza - Fun Card Game
Such a fun game! Everyone but one person knows the answer to the question, but only one person can tell the truth - can the one who doesn't know the answer sniff out the true answer?
Big Potato Sounds Fishy Board Game for Kids 10+
A super fast paced chaotic game where you try to be the first to get through your card pile - the catch? It is a free for all where everyone is flipping and playing cards all at once - and you can only use one hand to play cards into the middle AND o...
