“Settlers of Catan” is by far our favorite board game to play with family and/or friends. they make a kids’ version but our children had no problem playing the regular version (and winning) when they were as young as six.

Pass The Pigs…I know, it sounds ridiculous, and it is, that’s why you can’t play and keep a straight face. My mother-in-law walked away after wetting her pants laughing so hard=)

Our favorite game is Blokus. Even our 2 year old can play a version of it!!

We love a set of dominoes that we purchased. They are beyond useful because they are so versatile. My husband and I love to play Mexican Train with our adult friends, but when the kids around we play a modified version that also becomes educational.

When we volunteer our home for the church youth group we almost always pull out the Battle of the Sexes game.

And you can add us to the list of Apples to Apples fans as well!

We love the game “Things: Humor In A Box”. Not a great game for little kids, but my husband and I love to bring it out when we have friends over or game nights at our house for the youth at church. It’s a Canadian game, but Target just started to sell it in the U.S.

I always loved UNO as a kid though.

“Sorry” is a fav from my youth that I’m now playing with my 4 year old.

And “Othello” is deceptively easy but very challenging to ye olde logical brain.

Rich and the boys play a game called Careers. You get various jobs and win by making your life “forumla” first. (happiness, fame, $$)

I don’t remember who makes it. Look for the ooooold version in a thrift store or at a yard sale. The 1950s/60s? version is much nicer than the updated one.

Apples to Apples is fun, unless you have a husband that likes to argue his case. Then it’s annoying. :}
I loved playing Beyond Balderdash in college. We laughed so hard with that game. It would be for older kids.

I think Cranium is great fun, it involves some word puzzles, trivia, art and singing/acting.

The original is about $20 and worth every penny!

I agree with Rebekah and Kacie's posts... For adults, Apples to Apples is down right hilarious. I've have laughed myself to tears several times during that game.

Catch Phrase Music Edition is also one of our favorites. You have to sing and guess your teams songs. It's a blast.

Phase 10 is a good one too!
