Recommended Posts

Should I buy it?

 

The kids love board games.

 

They like...

 

Monopoly

Clue

Chess

Uno

Blokus

Scrabble

Parcheesi

 

Ages 8.5 and 11. Grades 3rd and 6th.

No screens family. I mention this only because they are completely clueless about on-line fantasy games and the like.

Our family loves this game. It does take 3-4 players though. Can't play with just two. If you're not sure if you would like it our not you could watch the online tutorial for how to play the game. That might give you a good idea as to how it's played and if your kids would like it.

This first link is the tutorial.

This link is just their main page. You can play online with other people too. We've never tried it though.

Huh, it's funny that you say you can't play with just two...I love playing with just one of my children. :)

I love board games! Settlers of Catan looks great.

 

This one looks fun, too...Ticket to Ride Europe. It will be our Christmas board game this year.

 

Great choice! We're gamers and we all love T2R. Settlers we like too, but it can be pretty slow. It wouldn't be my first choice after monopoly either - the rules book is pretty thick for a new gamer (without an experienced player to demonstrate the first time).

Thanks. I bought it but we haven't broken it out yet because I wasn't sure where to start! Going to the video as we are planning to play tons over the holidays.

Cranium had a game called Zooreka that in my mind was a simplistic version of Settlers. Amazon has a good description, but doesn't sell it anymore, but maybe other retailers do. It might be better for the age of your kids. It is not so complicated that you need someone who has played before to show you how, like I agree that Settlers is.
