Board games and card games for family game night

A good board game brings people to the same table and keeps them there. Games give families a shared activity that does not need a screen, and they teach turn-taking, counting, planning and how to win and lose kindly.

This category holds our own original board and card games plus classic equipment. You will find a trading game for families, a cooperative garden game where young children play together against the clock, a matching card game for early readers, a set of dice for many classic dice games and a wooden board for chess and checkers. Every product page lists the number of players, the age range, the typical play time and the contents of the box.

If your children are young, start with a short cooperative game, because everyone wins or loses together. Older children usually enjoy games with real choices and a little competition.

Common questions

Which board game is best for children aged 4 to 6?

A short cooperative game with simple rules works best. Our cooperative garden game takes about 15 minutes and does not require reading.

Are the rules included in other languages?

Every game includes printed rules in English. Rules in other languages are being prepared and will be available to download from the product page.

Do your games include small parts?

Most board games include small tokens or dice and are therefore not suitable for children under 3. The safety note on each product page lists the small parts.
