Another great non KS video... thanks!

You gave us lots of good choices. For myself I think Skull is a great game that can be played by all ages.

Received last week Leo muss zum Friseur because you already mentioned it in one of your previous videos. It's planed to introduce this to my family next weekend. Thanks for the Tipps and keep up your great work!

I played Tidal blades with my wife and daughter last night. We loved it!

As a family man myself, I appreciate good kids game suggestions.

One game for younger kids I recommend is Slappy Camper. Polyomino game mixed with visual matching and reaction speed. Card comes up, first to find the item packs it into their R/V. First to fill the R/V wins.

My Little Scythe, my first carcasonne, chupacabra and recently added zombie kidz are our go to family games with my 5 yr. old daughter. My teenage daughter seems to gravitate towards Fort and Dice Throne season 2.

Funny you're doing a video about family games! I'm developing a memory game in which you're a parent and your task is remembering the ages of your children. In all seriousness, thanks for another great video, and the reminder that we still need to pick up Barenpark.

I SO enjoy your opinions. From value, to game play, to family gaming! This video is why I became a Patreon supporter of you! Please keep doing more for the family gaming :) It's needed now more than ever! Keep up the great job!

Just got Barenpark! Thanks for the thoughts! It really is a great game for both adults and kids. Thanks again!

How did we miss this! So awesome. Thanks so much for including Creature Comforts Alex!!

[wbeytel]

Excellent video Alex. I only own half of the games on your list but they are all among my favourite family games.

[alexandermehl]

Really great video, there were a lot on the list that I never heard of. Can't wait until my daughter is old enough to try some of these.

Would love to play Trogdor someday with my kids! Good list. I’ll be referencing this often as I consider games for family time! Thank you and looking forward to reviews from your daughter too! 👍🏻🎉

[phillbvi]

I was really excited to see Trogdor make the list, although I was a bit disappointed that you did not screech out the name Strongbad style. That is the only permissible way to say Trogdor in our home.

My doppelganger strikes again. Half of these games are my favorite family games. The other half I haven't played. I have a feeling I will like them.

+1 for Creature Comforts. Love the friendly dice worker placement by cute animals!

[Snyback]

We just got "Sushi go party!" and our 6 (soon to be 7) years old loves it :) Her favourite is probably "Cat lady" (for now, but sushi could get there, we will see how long it'll stay interesting)

Thank you for all the amazing content :)

Every so often my brother and I have a board game night with his 10 year old daughter. My niece likes a bunch of games but we've played certain ones more than others of course. Star Trek Panic is a great co op game she likes since we've been showing her the original Trek series. Boss Monster and Exploding Kittens are card games she likes. And she's gotten quite good at Othello. But we'll even play more advanced stuff like Runebound and Descent. Haven't quite built up to more advanced stuff like Star Trek Frontiers yet. Lol.

Thanks for sharing.
Once again, your video cost me $$ ! ! ! :-) Got Ninja Paw for my granddaughters, ages 5 & 7.

[adityarajivratnam]

Nice list! I have played about half of these with my dad. I love Horrified and Trogdor was my first PnP. :)

[johnpanagos]

We play Jamaica too :-)
Some other games i play with my wife and son: Hero Realms, Enchanters, Zombicide (BP/GH), Descent 2e, but my wife LOVES Abyss.
Also, Tidal Blades arrived and so far we love it.
