Ages?

It's not a technically a board game, but my favorite game to play with family is Apples to Apples!

Kirby · 11-21-2009, 09:57 AM

I've always enjoyed playing Parcheesi and Sorry.

skuttle · 11-21-2009, 09:58 AM

We like Sorry and Trouble. Also, we like Uno Attack, although it's not a board game.

golfgal · 11-21-2009, 09:59 AM

Apples to Apples, ImaginIF are two of our favorites. They are great for any age and depending on how old people are the questions can be interpreted in several different ways. The kids LOVE playing ImaginIF with their friends and as adults the game is a BLAST-especially with good friends and a little alcohol

We love games! Tripoli is lots of fun with at least 3, preferably more, people. Rummikub is great, Scrabble, Scattergories, Pictureka... We love all of these! And Uno Attack... Catch Phrase is fun for a group of older teens or adults.

goofy's friends · 11-21-2009, 10:11 AM

We LOVE games! Favorites are Apples to Apples, Yahtzee Free for All, Yahtzee, Ticket to Ride (expensive and involved, but we love it), Blokus, Scrabble (for older ones), Disney Trivial Pursuit (although I wish it were more up to date), Zooreka (for younger ones), Cadoo, card games.

We recently rediscovered SkipBo... not a board game, but fun. And up to six people can play... AND it's very portable.

babytrees · 11-21-2009, 10:18 AM

Phase 10, Pictureka (this one has definitely become a favorite), Apples 2 Apples (if you have 4 or more to play), Go Bananas, Catch Phrase

Not all are board games but they are all def. family favorites.

SkipBo is awesome!! We like Phase 10 (either card version or dice version), Uno, and Swap too.

Board games that we like are Sorry, Parcheesi, Clue, Life, Scrabble, and, if you have enough players to form 2 teams, Tabboo or Pictionary.

My family loves the Scene It games. Right now we have 7 of them!! And another one hidden for Christmas.

We have:

Scene It JR

Scene It Squabble(Funny with another couple)

Scene It TV

Scene It POC(Hard)

Scene It Disney(Kids favorite)

Scene It Disney 2nd Edition

Scene It Music(My favorite because I can whup DH's butt

)

And for Christmas: Scene It Disney Channel

We play Phase 10 with another couple and recently picked up Phase 10 Twist which is faster to play and less math involved.

mjc05 · 11-21-2009, 10:27 AM

I agree with Apples to Apples, it's really fun.

NMAmy · 11-21-2009, 10:30 AM

Another vote for Apples to Apples. It always makes us laugh.

Also another vote for Uno Attack particularly if there's a wide age gap in the players. Because the number of cards you have to draw is totally random, it really evens the playing field for the younger kids.

DD and I also like to play Rack-O and Phase 10.

And how about that? I didn't choose one traditional board game.

That would be Scrabble. DD used to team up with Grandma for that one. Grandma is cutthroat at Scrabble!
