The best family games are easy to learn, short enough for younger players and still fun for the adults. Here are five we keep coming back to.
- CATAN: trade, build and settle an island. The modern classic for families with kids 10 and up.
- Monopoly India Edition: the property-trading classic with Indian cities on the board.
- Jenga: one block at a time until the tower falls. Perfect for all ages.
- Pictureka: a fast picture-hunting game that keeps younger players in the action.
- A magnetic travel games set: classic games whose pieces stay put on the go.
Rule one of game night: the youngest player chooses the first game.
Tip: keep a ‘house rules’ card in each box so everyone plays the same way every time.
