Budget board games??

[leahjade]

I always get the kids a board game (older teens) to play Christmas afternoon. Any suggestions? We have Scattergories & Apples to Apples. Thanks!

We love Taboo, along with the ones you have already mentioned.

My kids like Yahtzee (15 & 12) and I think WalMart has it on sale for $5.

My family got the monopoly with the "credit cards" it's alot of fun to play with those and I enjoy that game!

Our family loves Cranium! Not sure how budget friendly it is?

anyone ever play Quiddler - it's on Amazon less than $10 and sounds like fun.

Sequence is fun and it's under $20. We like Yahtzee, too. Pictionary is fun but I don't know how budget friendly it is.

How about some card games? They are budget friendly. Skip-Bo (if you don't already have it) is good. Mille Bornes is a card game I ordered from a catalog last year. My dh used to play it with his family and now we all enjoy it. This year, Target is selling it for under $6.00.

Quiddler is lots of fun! We also enjoy Yahtzee, Set, and our newest favorite, Bananagrams - abut $14 at Target.

I'm glad to hear Quiddler is fun. I've been looking at that one.

Here is a thread http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2043334 that lists a lot of favorite board games. They might not all be budget friendly, but it's a good place to get ideas.

One more vote for Sequence. Friends of ours turned us onto it, and we have since shared it with the extended family !

Phase 10 is a favorite in our house (cards). Also Skip-Bo (another card game).

Also, consider a set of Mexican train dominos. Very fun!

Another one that is fun is good old Tiddlywinks, because it's an action game. (Dumb name, but fun.) You can make up lots of combat variations, and you can usually get it dirt cheap.
