Try Bananagrams. Takes up as much space as a pair of socks.


We have it, along with many others. Our newest addition is Cutthroat Caverns, which we played tonight, for the first time. If you like tile-based word games, we picked up Lexigo a while back and it's pretty fun.


Race for the Galaxy! It's so much fun, though I found the rules to be difficult to understand at first. http://www.amazon.com/Rio-Grande-Games-RGG301-Galaxy/dp/B000...


Got that, too! :D Here.... let me just make a list of what's in the cabinet: http://pastie.org/3502486 There's not anything there that we don't like, but I'd say family favorites would be Qwirkle, Ticket to Ride, Robo Rally, Carcassonne, and Pandemic. Caverns was a lot of fun and may make the favorites list, too, but that could just be the newness... too soon to tell. :)

Our daughter's almost 10, and with the exception of Twilight Imperium (this game is massive, especially when you add both expansions) plays them all with us. In addition to spending more time together as a family, I'd say it's helped a with her math, reading, and critical thinking.


Cosmic Encounter is a space game that has _lots_ of optional rules. The basic game is pretty easy to learn but it can get very deep.

My son's almost four and I can't wait for him to want to play all these games.


Dixit is well worth a try if haven't already,
