Many are not used to spending so much time at home: the lack of work or its inconvenient remote format disheartens many. But if you look from the other side, everything is not so bad. You don’t spend money on transportation, you don’t need to pick out your clothes every day, and as for eating extra food “because you have nothing to do” and lying on the sofa watching TV shows that your eyes can no longer watch, right now we’ll tell you how to deal with this.
Board games like trivia questions for the whole family. Typically, this is an ideal option for a fun time with the whole family. It is impossible to play computer games with the whole family at the same time, it is impossible to choose a series that will be equally interesting to everyone, but it is possible to captivate people of different ages with a cool family board game. We have specially selected the best family games for 4 players or more. They did not include any games for adults, no tinny, trash, boring quizzes or games like Scrabble, but only cute games that are fun for both children and adults to play.
A funny and exciting game for the whole family, as our localizers called it - “Guess who you are? The answer is on the forehead! Players are given cards and head hoops, where they can attach a card with an image of an actor, object or animal, as well as four chips on their hands, without looking. Next, the participants in the game ask leading questions until their turn time runs out, to which they can only answer “yes” or “no.” If, after a series of questions, you guess what is on your forehead, you move the chip to the bank. The first to win is the one who gets rid of all the chips.
The set includes 6 hoops, but the number of participants can be increased by showing ingenuity using an ordinary headdress and tape. There are also 74 Russified cards, 24 chips and an hourglass to measure the time of each player's move. Judging by the reviews, this game is a real “people's favorite” - it can be played by both an adult company and with children - minimum competition, maximum fun.
A cult game invented by Englishwoman Leslie Scott, which has gained popularity around the world. An interesting idea and simple rules: participants build an 18-story skyscraper from 54 bricks, and then one by one pull the bricks from the lower floors in order to carefully install them on top of the tower, while trying not to collapse the entire structure. There are no winners, only a loser who destroyed the tower during his turn.
The ideal number of participants is 3-4 people, and judging by the reviews, both young and old love to play this game. It may seem that it is very simple, but it requires strong nerves, dexterous fingers, and even ingenuity in order to force the opponent to pull out the “inconvenient” block.
Have you heard the expression that liars grow noses? The Fibber game is about how you need to be able to bluff, and if you don’t know how, be so kind as to make your nose bigger with the help of special attachments. The one with the shortest nose wins. The point of the game is that you are given cards that correspond to the color of any sector of the playing field. You lay out cards with pictures and say a statement, for example, that you saw three Yeti, and you only have two Yeti cards in your hand. If the players believe you, you sell three cards from your hands; if they are caught cheating, you take the cards back and add a nose.
The game repeats the card game “believe it or not”, and the differences are that instead of four suits there are funny pictures and funny props in the form of a nose with glasses and attachments. Children are simply delighted with this game, as a cute and funny deception, which leads to an enlarged nose, relieves tension well and amuses the whole family.
A cool game where participants are divided into pairs or two teams. The task is to explain the words from the card to your team members, avoiding the same root words or calling its equivalent in another language. For each word a point is given, for each missed word a point is deducted. The number of points received determines the steps on the map that lead from start to finish, and accordingly, which team gets there faster - they win.
The game set includes 30 double-sided cards for the whole family and 20 separate cards for adults. The number of participants in a team is unlimited, but the minimum number is 4 people. You can play with children from seven years old - the creators have specially provided special categories and easy words for them.
The old pirate Jackal hid his treasures somewhere, and you must find them by gradually exploring the map. Sounds like a fun game, doesn't it? Moreover, the Jackal is the destined leader of board games, delighting fans for decades. The point of the game is that three pirates take turns opening sectors of the map in order to find out whether treasures are hidden there or whether they need to move on? In addition to treasures, there may be traps, and in addition, you need to be wary of other players who can and should harm you in order to take more gold to their ship than you.
The author of the review loves this game dearly, and spent more than one hour searching for hidden treasures, including at night - the gameplay is so captivating. The game is completely suitable for a family format, with one caveat - children must be 9-10 years old, otherwise they will not be so interested, and it is quite difficult to fully understand all the intricacies of the game.
An incredibly fun game, even for little ones who are just eager to play it with their parents. The secret of popularity is quite simple: the player puts on a special mouthguard with a mouthpiece, takes a card with words or phrases from the deck and tries to pronounce them so that others can understand. The time for one move is limited, and the process is interesting both for those who are trying to pronounce words and for those who are trying to guess this set of sounds.
The set includes 6 mouth guards for children, 4 mouth guards for adults, double-sided game cards: 100 for children and 100 for parents, an hourglass and game rules.
Another mastodon of the tabletop workshop. Cluedo is an incredibly popular detective game where six players, guests of a mansion, must figure out which of them is the killer. The family version involves the following adaptation: six guests are invited to a dinner party, but someone villainously eats the whole pie. At the very beginning of the game, a card with the identity of the criminal and a set of evidence is placed in a sealed envelope: with what drink was the crime committed, at what time and where.
With a set of cards in hand, you are asked to ask leading questions in order to find out which cards are in the hands of the guests, in order to quickly expose the criminal by the method of elimination. Recommended age for child players is 6-8 years.
A cool adaptation of the popular game Uno for little ones, where there are no numbers, and cards are supposed to be discarded based on images of animals and colors. Bright and funny cards beg to be picked up, but don’t forget the basic rule of the game: get rid of all the cards, and when you have one left, shout loudly “Uno!”
The game can keep a family of two to six people busy like in 90s music trivia questions for a very long time; after one game played, you want to play again and again, especially if you count up to 500 points. The game will not only entertain children, but will also develop attentiveness, intelligence and reaction speed.
