scrabble is amazing!!!! loved the list
Monopoly I think was the last boardgame I played but I remember the hours I spent playing Life with a friend. It was the only thing that would get us to quiet down! There was one more I loved to play – it was called Cluedo. It had suspects and murders and you got to be a detective!
In the last couple of years, we have rekindled our love for board games which we used to play as children. I guess its a perfect way to keep the brain cells going and also stay away from the phone and other gadgets.
Wow this list looks great. I have some of these games and they are awesome.
i found this post useful too https://www.grabsanddeals.in/best-indoor-games-for-kids/
Wow…you have covered all games very beautifully. Recently I ordered Jenga tiles and we are loving it.
Interesting board games, My kiddos are going to love this list some names are totally new to me also, though they do play some of them, like Jenga, Uno, Scrabble, Monoply and Mouse Trap.
Suspended game, mouse trap and Life are new to me. Making note of them.
Not just kids, even my family and me as adults plays almost all of these games during the initial months of lockdown. My personal favorite is scrabble. 🙂
I have almost all of them! Will try Othello
I was searching for such a list. Wanted to gift something like this for my nephews. Thank you so much.
Such a a lovely list, my pick would be Life and Monopoly any day. Haven’t played other games. And the best part is both these games can be played by a family.
Great list. I have played monopoly, snake and ladder and Jenga in my childhood..
Fantastic. I was looking for this information. We are big UNO lovers and monopoly is another from the list that we play. I will be buying a few more soon from your list.
Thats a very interesting and nice list of board games. In fact some of these we also play and monopoly is my daughters fav one. Will surely check out the ones that are new for me.
So great to see some childhood classics from my own younger years continue to be top-of-the-charts for kids these days!!
My kids have all the games, and I can vouch these are great!!
Thanks for sharing such wonderful options. We really love playing Monopoly on my husband’s off. It’s the best time of the week for us. Will try out thr other options you shared.
While most of these are already in our playroom, can’t wait to try Jenga with my daughter.
Loved the post! These are very good recommendations. About Othello, you say that adults may find it difficult to master. I think most such board games are cracked quickly by kids rather than by us adults 😛
Haha yes, kids are super kids. Thanks, Sona.
