The best games for the whole family 2023
We have selected and compared almost 2000 family games for you.
What are family games?
For us, family games are dice, card and board games that you can play with the whole family. In our list we have left out games that are purely aimed at toddlers (4 years and younger) (e.g. the Habe series "My First Games" with "First Orchard" or "Hanna Honeybee").
Family games connect generations
It is also important to us that the family games we recommend are enjoyed not only by children but also by adults of all ages.
In addition, we have made sure that not only one type of game is recommended. Included are Skill games (e.g. Crokinole, Pitchcar), Laying games (e.g. Azul, Kingdomino), Card games (e.g. Point Salad, Love Letter) or also Flip- or Roll&Write-games (e.g. Cartographers, That's Pretty Clever).
Many family games awarded with the "Spiel des Jahres"
In our list you can also find some games awarded with the Spiel des Jahres Award. In addition, we have found many other game treasures that bring the whole family to the table.
