Hello,
I myself am getting more into board gaming, a little late to the game but hooked, (I am 42)
Any good suggestions for games that I might be able to get the rest of the family hooked with to get them started!
Wife (my age, non gamer), 3 sons, 8, 10, and 12.
It would be nice to find something we can all 5 play, and I myself would like it to lean a little more towards strategy, but not to difficult where the rest of the family would get frustrated!
Thanks!!
Take a look at our recommended games page for some ideas. It's not an exhaustive list by any means, but they are games that we have personally evaluated and were rated favorably.
Based on your description, I would say that Gold Mine, Ticket to Ride, and Eruption would be good choices as they all accommodate 5 to 6 players (I designed Gold Mine and Eruption, so take that with a grain of salt - but I truly think they are good for your situation). If you think they would like cooperative games, Castle Panic is a great choice, as well.
I agree, Castle Panic is not a bad choice. Also, look into SURVIVE!. I am 41 and it's one of my favorite 'light' games (a far cry from Twilight Imperium - one of my favorites.)
It's only a 4-player game, but Hey, That's My Fish is fun for all ages. Also, if you are looking for something a tad more educational, 10 Days in Europe is awesome, but also 4-player. Both involve some minor strategy.
I LOVE Hey, That's My Fish. It has strategy and adorable penguin pieces! The fact it is very portable is a plus as well.
A few games I suggest (and used) as gateway games to intro the non-gamer into the hobby...
- Man Bites Dog, Zombie Dice, Tsuro and Pass the Pigs.
Is Pass the Pigs the one where you roll pigs? My friends and I used to play that one when we were little. We thought "makin' bacon" was funny.
Thanks for the recommendations, I think I might pick up "Hey, That's my Fish" along with some of the others to try.
We did try Castle Panic, and they seem to like that also.
Now that I've played it, I would also recommend Ticket to Ride. It's 5-player and pretty easy to learn.
My recommendation is Dixit...my wife is particular about games and she loved this one and 6 people can play.
Carcassonne (my personal preference is Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers) could also be a good fit. It plays 5 with some strategy/spatial skills. Also a great gateway game and plays pretty quickly.
dixit is a good one for casual gaming as well. There are quite a few of traditional card games out there that are fairly casual, my parents taught us 'oh hell' but always called it moron bridge instead, great game to pass the time with a simple deck of cards.
I'll chime in on Forbidden Island or maybe Forbidden Desert (haven't played Desert). I've played Forbidden Island with nieces and nephews about that age and it was a great Hit.
Try Rise of Augustus. It's gamer bingo and a great casual game. Other recent favorites for our family are Las Vegas and YamSlam (love dice games).
I think Zooloretto is a fun one! Might be too light for what you're looking for though.
There are a few casual card games I'd recommend for a family:
I would like to add Megapocket Carrom.. But it's a 4 -player game
my suggestions are Council of Verona and Seven Dragons. u should try it
A few games I suggest to you are
These all games are multiplayer games.

Wow that was unusual. I just wrote an really long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t show up. Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say superb blog! 有道翻译下载
Good post. I learn one thing more challenging on different blogs everyday. It’ll always be stimulating to read content from different writers and observe a bit something from their store. I’d choose to make use of some with the content on my weblog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll provide you with a hyperlink on your net blog. Thanks for sharing. Gsc108
If you enjoy games that involve strategy, creativity, and discovery, you’ll love titles like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, or simulation-based games. Interestingly, choosing the right game is a lot like selecting gemstones at PMKK Gems. Just as you explore aquamarine stone benefits for calmness and clarity, or pick a white zircon stone for brilliance and elegance, each game offers a unique experience. The key is to match your mood and interest—whether you want relaxation, adventure, or something creatively engaging.
whoah this blog is excellent i love reading your posts. Stay up the good work! You realize, lots of people are looking around for this info, you can help them greatly. bandar toto
