HappyatHome Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Settlers of Catan - huge hit (my dc are ages 14 - 22). We add an expansion every year. This is the third year we've owned it. Most of my extended family is hooked as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcelmer Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 When my kids were littler, about 6/4-5 , we all loved to play balloon lagoon... :-) Now that they are a bit older, 9/6 we all play skipbo a lot... :-) they also really like 13 dead end drive,(gimmicky cluish kind of thing) clue, settlers of Catan, chess etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in AL Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 My husband bought the game over the summer, and we are SO addicted to it! A typical game with the four of us runs 45min-1 hour. We just love this game. We also enjoy Uno, Backgammon, Trouble, Othello, and Trivial Pursuit (the original) For ages 10+, though, I would really suggest Settlers of Catan! :D At first glance, I thought I would hate it, as it didn't sound interesting to me at all. However, it's one of my top three game picks! Can you tell I like it? :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean too Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Carcassonne, Settlers of Catan, Ticket to Ride, Apples to Apples, Iron Dragon, Cranium, Taboo (not really a board game) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Monopoly! Entertaining and simple enough that my 6 y.o. can play. Challenging and fun enough for me. The two of us are on day four of our latest game. Our family also enjoys Cranium, Blokus, Uno, and Apples to Apples. For 10+ try Pit too. :) Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadiegirl Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Our newest favorite it called 10 Days in Europe...there are several versions from 10 days in the US to 10 days in Africa...great for learning, quick to play, and just fun. We also like Ticket to Ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 A couple of our favorites are card games: Milles Borne and Dutch Blitz. We also enjoy Monopoly, Blokus, Boggle, and Sorry! Oh, someone mentioned a 10 Days game. We have the USA version. Fun! Will have to get that one back out soon. Cinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Settlers of Catan - huge hit (my dc are ages 14 - 22). We add an expansion every year. This is the third year we've owned it. Most of my extended family is hooked as well. :iagree: My 21yo bought a game last year called Smart A**. It is a great game, except for the name. My youngers call it Smart Donkey.

Crissy Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Does anyone play Word for Word? I bought it as a Christmas gift for our friends because it looks like a lot of fun and something that will appeal to everyone in their family. I'd not heard of it before purchasing it, though, so I'm curious if anyone here has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJ Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Another vote for Settlers of Catan. We started playing last summer and our whole family loves it. Well, except one son's fiance' who refuses to be sucked into the island. Monopoly city is the new version of Monopoly and it is really quite fun too.

Truscifi Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 SuperScrabble. Just like Scrabble but the board is bigger and there are more letters. We're nerds. :D Also a nice chess board goes a long way. Ds and dh use ours regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Slightly old-fashioned, but our whole family is enjoying Aggravation and Chinese Checkers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
