If you have a large crowd, we recommend Codenames. In this adventure-based board game, players compete with each other to gather resources and construct settlements. Overall, CATAN Family Edition Board Game is a great addition to any party. Number of Players: 2-6 | Duration: 60-180 minutes | Recommended Age: 8 years and up This highly competitive, family-friendly game can take several hours to complete and can be played with two to six players. And, for those who remember getting stuck with the less-than-exciting thimble, shoe, or wheelbarrow tokens, this version features a few new tokens (a Rubber Ducky, T-Rex, and Penguin). For example, the addition of Monopoly Cards (these cards are replacing Chance and Community Chance Cards) is essentially the same, but the new 'Location spots' allow you to pay to move to any space on the board. This version includes a few new upgrades, though.

Players still have the opportunity to purchase property and charge one another rent, and the game ends when you own enough properties to bankrupt your opponents. This slightly updated edition of Monopoly has the same premise as the original-a race to purchase property and amass more than your opponents. Not exactly the same as the original version Number of Players: 3-4 | Duration: 60-90 minutes | Recommended Age: 10 years and up Still, there are plenty of opportunities to replay this pick and try out different strategies and methods. Users love the more family-friendly version of the classic game, but note that it is definitely not as extensive as the original. The game relies on tactical thinking and decision-making, and while it is competitive, it ends up pitting players against the game rather than each other.

The first player to 10 points wins the game. Each player gets a color-coded settlement, road, and city pieces and earns “victory points” as they build various structures. The board is made up of 19 hexagonal tiles that are arranged randomly at the beginning of each game-making sure that no two games are ever the same. This adventure-based board game requires players to battle it out to collect resources and build the biggest settlements on the island of Catan. Settlers of Catan has been translated into over 30 different languages, so it’s safe to say this one appeals to a range of audiences.
