The Best Family Games: Find The Perfect Game Night Choice!

The best family games and reviews of each from parents and kids.

Stacks of the best games for families.

Looking for family games for game night? You're in the right place! With 10-years of family game nights under our belts, we've got you covered with reviews on everything from Richard Scarry's Busytown for toddlers to Machi Koro for teens!

As parents, we’ve always believed in the power of game night as a way to connect, learn problem-solving skills, and strategic thinking... but only if the competition is authentic, promotes good sportsmanship, and fosters pride.

Which is why we recommend ditching Candyland, ignoring the "recommended age" on family games, playing teams if needed, and finding board games that you and your kids BOTH look forward to playing.

The Best Family Board Games is a collection of reviews of family games from each member of The Core Four, which is what we lovingly call our family-games quartet.

A collage of a variety of family games.

Here are some of our top game night recommendations:

  • Toddlers & Preschoolers: Richard Scarry's Busytown, Eye Found It
  • Elementary Aged Kids: Dixit
  • Tweens & Teens: Machi Koro

Look through our entire list of family game reviews and game night tips below!
