Introduction
Board games are very common games among people. Board games can be play with friends and family but unfortunately we are very busy in lives that we have no time for our own family. So, forget about every thing and spend some time with your family and play some cool or enjoyable board games.
The most exciting and fun games to play
Family gaming events have become increasingly popular in recent years, in part as a way to spend time with the family away from the tyranny of screens. And it’s a great option: everyone has to participate, it’s a workout for the brain, and often an intense action-packed game until the very finish, if you choose the right games. But in the ever-growing board games market, this can be a problem, as not all games are as interesting to your under-15s as they are to their grandparents and the generation in between.
Our selection is sure to appeal to players of all ages and skill levels, as it offers a mix of strategy and luck that keeps everyone on their toes and giving them a chance to win.
My City
Age category: 10+
Players: 2-4
Game time: 30 minutes
Legacy games, where your actions in one game carry over to the next, have been popular in board games for the past decade, but most of them are too complex and addictive for a family game. My City, from one of the most prolific and famous board game designers, Reiner Knizia, is a completely different matter. It’s a simple, Zen-like tiling game where you try to fit buildings of different shapes into a pristine desert by grouping things together to score points. But after each game, you’ll add new rules and stickers to your map, so each player’s board becomes unique. This adds an addictive thrill to the game as you wait to unlock each tranche of new content, and means it will come back to the table again and again as you progress through the campaign.
Scout
Age category: 9+
Players: 2-5
Game time: 20 minutes
Japan has its own booming board game scene, with translations only slowly making their way west. This card game is perhaps the most exciting Japanese export to win a nomination for the prestigious Spiel des Jahres award. It’s basically an easy-to-learn Rummy-style gambling game where you have to lay out sequences of cards from your hand to get rid of them, but it has two special highlights. First, if you can’t beat the sequence lying on the table, you have to take a card from it, and second, you can’t rearrange the starting hand, you can only put the cards you took where you want to see them. This gives each hand an exciting long-term strategic aspect, which is an amazing achievement for an already highly engrossing fifteen-minute game.
Heat: Pedal to the Metal
Age range: 10+
Players: 1-6
Game time: 30-60 min
Ironically, Heat was one of the hottest games of 2022, an easy-to-learn racing game that still delivers an exhilarating rush to the checkered flag. The essence of the game is very simple: the higher the gear, the more movement cards you can play, but all turns on the track have a maximum gear value. If you exceed it, you risk turning around and losing your position. This makes for a tight game where you have to test your luck and manage your hand to maximize your drive without changing gear until the last minute and then picking up speed again on the straights. And don’t forget how important it is to stay behind the leader to overtake him at the last minute. With a variety of tracks and fun plastic toy cars, you’re sure to be racing late into the night.
Takenoko
Age category: 8+
Players: 2-4
Game time: 45 min
This Game is about taking Care of a panda who is Hungry. Players spend their turns watering plots of land to grow bamboo, which the panda will then eat. There are many ways to earn points, such as placing land tiles in a certain order and feeding certain colored bamboo pandas. Since there is more than one way to earn points, the game does not impose a single strategy on players. With colors that explode and towers of bamboo that reach far above the table, Takenoko is as fun to watch as it is to play.
Cascadia
Age category: 10+
Players: 1-4
Game time: 30-45 minutes
There are few games with such broad appeal as Cascadia. To begin with, it has a useful research topic on the ecology of the Pacific Northwest. The game mechanics are very simple: you choose one of four pairs of animal tokens and terrain hexes to add to the growing map. The goal is to satisfy a random range of scorecards by placing animals in specific patterns, and they range in difficulty from an easy family version to gamer-level challenges. There’s even a fun single-player campaign where you have to strike out different options and objectives. If ever there was a game for everyone, this is it.
