We don't have a regular game night, but I try to play board games fairly often with the kids. We like:
Spot It! Sequence for Kids Bellz Connect Four Mancala The Game of Life Although we don't get the chance to play often, my hubby and I like: Sequence Dutch Blitz Yahtzee Last edited by luckyme; 11-21-2015 at 09:26 AM. |

Things we play regularly:
Sorry Revenge Uno Connect Four On occasion we play Monopoly (I'm not a fan of how long that one goes, but as a side note we own so many different versions of the game I've lost track and the boys always see different ones they want to add to the "collection"). We have scrabble, and with the boys being younger I haven't really made that a choice all the time, but I want to add it to our regular fun... my oldest is having trouble with his spelling in school (he's like his father and just plain bad at it), so I want to work with him more on that without him really knowing I'm working on that with him. We have a lot of the travel card games (uno, battleship, clue, scrabble, pictureka and a few more) These get used a LOT during the summer. They are a part of my "Summer Fun" kit I keep in the car so if we end up going on a long drive, or camping or for some reason we end up in the car or stop somewhere unexpectedly the kids always have something that will keep them entertained.

The most popular board games in my house are things like Axis and Allies that take hours (and sometimes days) to play. If the kids had to wait for me to be available, they'd take weeks to finish!
We don't have a regular game night, but it might be fun to start doing that occasionally on Sat afternoon. Maybe I'll pick up a few new board games for the holidays and try starting that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

We try to have a game night a couple times a month. It use to be every weekend, but life often gets in the way. Our family favorites are:
Ticket to Ride and I highly recommend getting this expansion pack to go with it- more routes and regular sized cards- 1910 expansion 7 Wonders (my favorite game) Settlers of Catan (my son's favorite, but not mine) (and don't pay the crazy price listed!) Fill or Bust (my husband's fave) I'll be getting at least 2 new games for Christmas. Leaning towards Love Letter because my 12 year old played it and thought it was great. And maybe Dominion. |

I was raised in Maine, as was my daughter, so of course we play cribbage (seriously, it's like a preequisite to living here - LOL). We also like the classics of Monopoly, Clue, and Scrabble.

No one in my house will play games with me. I LOVE card and board games. My SIL plays Scrabble with me when we have get-togethers and I play Euchre with my friends.

We just have traditional games like Monopoly, Battleship, Sorry, etc. I remember a long time ago having game nights with friends. I want to do that again this winter, but I don't have all the games I used to have.

We love Connect Four, Battleship, Zingo, Rock Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock Dice game, Trouble, Sorry and Uno. We have just gotten into this new card game called Exploding Kittens. I bought it kind of on a whim when Target had their buy 2 get one free game offer. It is quick and fun! And the girls are getting Mousetrap and Labyrinth for Christmas this year. I am trying desperately to get our number of games up! Our biggest problem is the girls keep losing the pieces to everything!

We love Farkle as a family. When we have friends over, we like Rook, Munchkin and other card games. My husband loves playing Settlers of Catan with my nephew and father, while the rest of us rather scrub toilets! My father and I love playing Books & Runs, which is a card game that I grew up playing. While my husband is not deployed, every Friday night is Game Night and it lasts for an hour or longer, depending on which game we play.
I love that so many of you play Dutch Blitz! I grew up playing that but I'm having a hard time finding friends who played it, much less want to learn how to play it. I own it, just no one to play with me. Last edited by Neverland Scraps; 11-25-2015 at 11:28 PM. |
