![]() ![]() What to Look for in Board Games for Kids Age Level If you're looking to engage the little ones in a quick, yet interactive game, we recommend Think Fun's Zingo!, a fun twist on the classic game of Bingo. While any board game is a great way to engage your children in screen-free fun, our top pick is Settlers of Catan: Family Edition because it offers the same level of strategic thinking as the original Settlers of Catan game in a family-oriented package. Number of Players: 3-4 | Duration: 60-90 minutes | Recommended Age: 10 years and up Still, some wished that this version had a bit more play options compared to the original. This is a great starter strategy game for kids and families, who can eventually graduate to the original Catan or other more intensive board games aimed at adults. We love that this reimagined classic has a quicker setup time and easier-to-understand instructions. Since you build the board with sets of hexagonal tiles at the start of each game, this game won't get old too quickly, and although it is competitive-part of your strategy is blocking your opponents from getting points-you'll also need to work together by trading, teaching social skills and good sportsmanship along the way. Like the original version, this game requires you to build a settlement to earn points, but the Family Edition makes it a little easier to learn the ins and outs of the game, so kids won't need to sit through lengthy instructions to get to the fun. If you're a Catan fan, you'll be happy to know that this strategy-based game comes in a kid-friendly version. Number of Players: 2 | Duration: 5-10 minutes | Recommended Age: 6 years and up This updated version of the game is more inclusive, with more variety in ethnicity and skin tone that the original game. This game is relatively easy, but it teaches problem-solving, attention to detail, and categorization. If you guess correctly before your opponent, you've won! Once a player has guessed enough clues correctly and believes they know who their opponent’s mystery character is, then they can take a guess. Each player chooses a mystery character and uses “yes” or “no” questions to try and reveal clues about who the other player’s mystery character is. Hasbro’s Guess Who is another classic game for younger ages that’s quick to learn, will keep them engaged, and is easy to play on their own. Some reviewers found the newly designed characters too similar to each otherįinding a game that’s great for two people can be tough, as most board games are designed with “the more the merrier” in mind. ![]() The Spruce Home Improvement Review Board.
