Bassoonaroo Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 We like: Quirkle, Racko, Zeus on the Loose, Dominoes, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne (I am guessing I misspelled that one), Blockus (regular and "Trigon"), Clue, Journeys of Paul, Sorry (simple but fun), and we play cards too (Euchre). I'm sure I'm forgetting a few... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen in PA Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Another vote for Minotaurus -- I got that for the dc last Christmas and we all enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelAR05 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 We enjoy To Bethlehem this time of year. It's great for all ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photo Ninja Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Killer Rabbits (plus one or two expansion packs) Great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I've bought Qwirkle, Money Bags, 10 Days in the USA, and several card games like Scrabble Slam, Monopoly Deal, Sorry Revenge, and Yahtzee Hands Down. We've also enjoyed Great States and Scrambled States of America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tammyw Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Favorites in our house, and seriously good IMO, quoridor, quixo, and gobblet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vida Winter Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Our current favorite is Ticket to Ride and our younger dd (7) loves Cranium Cadoo, Story Cubes, and Apple to Apples Jr. We also like Set (we have different versions and like Set for Ipad best). We've been having so much fun with Ticket to Ride -- I'm looking into expansion packs, etc. I have a big list of possibilities for Christmas so I'll be watching this thread. The one that I had high hopes for is Dixit -- it's so-so but I don't like it like I thought I would. My personal favorite is Scrabble but I can't get anyone to play. If anyone has feedback on Solitaire Chess I'd appreciate hearing what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendi Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 I forget how old your kids are. My 15-year-old says the Lego Heroica game actually looks pretty fun. Today we found out there is a Lord of the Rings card game!!! I'm planning to get that for ds and me. There's also a Civilization board game that looks cool.
