Unplug, gather round the table, and build memories—one roll of the dice at a time.

Why Board Games Still Matter

Board games are more than entertainment. They create face-to-face connection, teach strategic thinking, and give families a shared language of inside jokes and traditions. A weekly game night improves communication, encourages patience, and — yes — produces memorable victory dances.

Top 5 Family-Friendly Picks

1. Ticket to Ride

Easy to learn, strategic enough for older kids and adults — build routes across a beautiful map.

2. Catan

A classic resource-trading game that teaches negotiation and planning.

3. Azul

Elegant and tactile tile-laying game with simple rules and deep strategy.

4. Dixit

Creativity-driven storytelling game perfect for mixed-age groups.

5. Sleeping Queens

A charming card game for younger players — short, fun, and full of surprises.

Quick Tips for Great Game Nights

  • Keep it cosy: snacks, comfy seating, and clear table space matter.
  • Choose games by time and age — 20–30 minutes for younger kids; 45+ minutes for hardcore strategy.
  • Rotate picks: let each family member choose a game to keep everyone invested.
  • Play cooperatively sometimes — it keeps competitive tensions low and builds teamwork.
