Popular Family Games

When considering popular family games to recommend, I decided to list board games and table games that actually encouraged families to interact with each other. The following six boardgames brings family members of all ages into the fun, without excluding any one group. These are fun and, for the most part, affordable for a family looking for some fun and entertainment.

Most important, these popular family games are appropriate for everyone in your family. The game designers specifically created these games with families with children in mind.

Cranium Family Edition

The Cranium Family Edition is one of the bestsellers right now among family games. You can also find a number of other good family games in the Cranium line: Cranium Whoonu, Cranium Zigity, Cranium Conga and Cranium Zooreeka.

The Cranium Family Edition requires skills like sculpting (clay), sketching, building, “flipping” objects and guessing. Cranium is a lot more than just a trivia game, but the trivia buffs will find they can stand out at moments of the game. Mostly, the Cranium board games are a lot of family fun. It’s pricey at $49, but the Cranium Family Edition is probably the best selling family board game right now.

Hasbro Games Trivial Pursuit Family Edition

For #20, you can buy the Family Edition of Trivial Pursuit, a family-friendly version that lets parents and kids play on the same level. The kids can show off their knowledge of kid trivia with the “Kids Card” questions, while the adults will take on the “Adult Cards” challenges. This evens the playing field, where Trivial Pursuit has traditionally included a generational divid.

The categories remain the same: Entertainment, Sports & Leisure, History, People & Places, Science & Nature and the always volatile Wild Card.

Bible Trivia Board Game

The Bible Trivia Board Game is inexpensive ($14) and wholesome. Not only is Bible Trivia a family-oriented game for Christians of all ages, but playing the board game is education, since you learn facts from both the Old Testament and New Testament. The good word can be the fun word, too. Like Trivial Pursuit Family Edition, there are separate adult and children questions.

Imagination Beat the Parents Board Game

Imagination Beat the Parents reminds me of the “Battle of the Sexes” board game from a few years back. In that game, men were asked questions women generally found easier to answer, while women were asked questions on traditional male subjects.

In the Imagination Beat the Parents Boardgame, children are asked questions parents would be best equipped to answer, while parents are asked questions their kids would ace. We get to see which of the two groups are paying more attention to the other generation.

Kids Battle the Grown-Ups

“Kids Battle the Grown-Ups” is similar to the “Beat the Parents” game, where the adults answers kids questions, while the kids answer adults question. There is a little more strategy and intrigue here, though, because there are two levels of trivia questions (one harder, one easier) and the ability to engage in treachery to defeat your foe.

Family Time Fun Dinner Games and Activities

The “Family Time Fun Dinner Games and Activities’ game is designed for families with children 5 to 12 years old, with guessing games, puzzles and counting exercises. The idea is to bring families closer together at dinner time or during road trips, instead of everyone scarfing food to get through supper quickly, or listening to their iPods while the miles tick away.

In all, the Family Time Fun Dinner Game has 51 dinner games to play while you eat or have quality time with the family. Around $15, which is quite affordable for parents wanting to buy a handful of popular family games.
