Board Games

Another option: Board Games with the family! A family Game Night is a perfect opportunity for fun for the whole family as well as teaching your kids critical thinking, teamwork, and winning (and losing!) with grace. Here are some personal favorites:

Pandemic/Pandemic Legacy – the classic cooperative board game; team up to find cures for disease that threaten to wipe out the planet. The newly released Pandemic Legacy takes it a bit further by adding an ongoing campaign mode and is currently rated the greatest board game ever made.

Settlers of Catan – one of the first German-style games to become popular here, each player takes the role of a settler in a randomly generated land. Simple to pick up while still containing a large amount strategy; perfect of beginning gamers!

Puerto Rico – similar in premise to Catan, but little more in-depth; players assume the role of governors in Colonial Puerto Rico and attempt to achieve victory by either exporting goods or constructing buildings.

Ticket to Ride – this railway themed game see players attempt to secretly build out their routes before their rivals. Complete your routes to win or, if you’re really wicked, stop your opponents from building theirs!

Power Grid – each player assumes the role of power companies supplying energy to their cities. Bid on power plants and acquire resources to grow your energy network as efficiently as possible!
