Family games are the most versatile genre of board games. Games from our TOP can be played with children, with parents, with friends and with newcomers to the world of board games.
10. TICKET TO RIDE, CARCASSONE
These games will most likely be offered to you in the store :) They are very popular and sold in large quantities. Moreover, each of these three games has many varieties. Train ticket: Europe, America, Nordic countries... Carcassonne: Classic, Gold Rush, Amazon... They share a common mechanic, but the setting, the place of action in the games are different. If you haven't played these games yet or you're choosing a gift and don't know what the person likes, any of the games will be a good option.
9. POTION EXPLOSION
A very simple and enjoyable game with a bunch of colorful glass balls. During the game, you will collect various ingredients and brew potions. You will learn, for example, how to make potions of wisdom from unicorn tears and dragon smoke
8. THE CASTLES OF BURGUNDY
The events of "Castles of Burgundy" take place in the region of medieval France. Players, playing the role of aristocrats, rule small principalities, building settlements, strong castles, practicing river trade, developing mines and using the knowledge of travelers. The principalities are represented in the game by the personal fields of the players, spread out in a hexagon. During the game, hexagons are filled with settlement tiles. Each tile has its own purpose, and they start working when they appear on the field. One of the best family strategies that opens the way to more complex economic games.
7. SHERIFF OF NOTTINGHAM
Do you like player interaction, dialogue and bluffing? If so, try the Sheriff of Nottingham game. In it, each participant in turn becomes a sheriff, and the rest try to transport legal goods and contraband through him. You put all the cards in a bag, give it to the sheriff and declare what is there. For example, like this: "Sheriff, you know me, I have never deceived you and always acted extremely honestly. So this time I'm carrying 5 boxes of apples." The sheriff might remember that there weren't that many cards with apples this turn and you're likely to fool him. He wants to open the bag to check, but you stop him: "Maybe something else could have got into my bag, I was going in a hurry ... Maybe 5 coins will help you believe me?" You hand him coins and the sheriff calms down.
6. FOR SALE
Quite a brilliant game for its size. You will buy and sell real estate in an effort to make money. Moreover, houses are different: from a cardboard box and a smokehouse to castles and space stations. A simple and dynamic auction game.
5. COLT EXPRESS
Fun in a box! All of you together (up to 6 people, we recommend exactly 5-6) will rob the train. It's every man for himself, whoever takes the most is the winner. You'll be running all over the train, shooting opponents, taking bags of money from them and controlling a sheriff who really doesn't like what's happening on his train!
The highlight of this game is how the action cards are played. You lay them out one after the other, but you don't perform the events at once. For example, the first player says that he will get into the wagon, the second player says that he will shoot, the third player will run forward, and so on for several rounds of actions. Then you collect the general deck of cards and start doing all these actions. And from this moment the most interesting begins. Why is he shooting in the air? Why is she going to meet the sheriff? Someone hit a freaking bullet. Real chaos! And an even funnier situation occurs when the train enters the tunnel: everyone puts their cards face down. Anything can happen in the tunnel!
This game is not for serious strategy, just relax and have fun, then you are guaranteed to have a great time.
4. TAKENOKO
The cutest and cutest game in this rating. Here you will need to irrigate the area and grow bamboo for the panda to eat. Moreover, the mechanics of the game are quite interesting, that is, you will need to consider how to score more points than your opponents.
3. 13 CLUES
Each player sees three clues, which are divided into: Person, Crime Scene, and Murder Tool. Also, players know all the cards of their opponents (except those behind their screen).
Your goal is to calculate the set of cards that fits on the front side of your screen, and to be able to do this, you will need to strain your brains.
Players investigate by asking each other questions, consulting with an undercover informant, and making accusations to gather clues and frame suspects.
The object of the game is to identify which of the 13 clues fits your case before the others!
2. CELESTIA
One of the best family games on the market right now is Celestia. It is based on the push your luck mechanic, i.e. "try your luck". And this means that all your games will be very gambling. You fly with your friends on an airship, and the further you go, the more treasures you can find. But there may be a lot of problems on your way: clouds, birds and even pirates.
Before each new city, the captain (and the players take turns being captains) rolls dice that show the obstacles we have encountered. Each player then decides whether to stay on the ship or disembark and receive the current city's reward. Those who remain on board are completely dependent on the captain. If he has the right cards, they fly on. If not, the ship crashes and nobody gets anything.
Get off now or hope for luck and fly on? Tit in the form of easy points at the start or cranes in the form of 25 points and the last city? You'll love Celestia for its simplicity and the emotion it brings! And I have not yet said that you can bluff very actively here... That is, there is quite a lot of communication in the game. And isn't that one of the main things we play board games for?
1. PANDEMIC
The best, in our opinion, game from the genre of family cooperative games. In this game you will not need to compete and try to get more points. Here you will all work together as a team to save the planet from terrible epidemics and try to cure spreading diseases. Moreover, each player will have a role with special abilities.
This game should be in everyone's collection!)
