Monopoly

(Image credit: txking / Shutterstock.com) Would a better list of board games be complete without Monopoly? It's old but definitely a good idea. If you've been hiding under a rock and never played Monopoly, let us explain the premise: You roll dice, move through a variety of street names, and try to buy as much property as possible, collecting rents from the unfortunate souls who they land on their pitches and in order to bankrupt everyone who plays. Sounds pretty fierce, right? That's because it is, and we expect the game to be the source of many family storylines for years to come. Monopoly Classic Game of...

Scrabble

(Image credit: Ekaterina_Minaeva / Shutterstock.com) What could be better than a game where you learn by playing? Scrabble is another old gold, but it still holds up 82 years after it was first published. The concept is quite simple: you are trying to create the highest scoring words from the defined number of random letters you have. It may sound simple, but you are limited by being able to only add words that are already on the board. Also, the lyrics you have can be downright awful. This is where it helps to have a dictionary handy because you just know someone is going to try to say that something like "blorange" is definitely a word...

ticket to climb

(Image credit: Wonder Days) Choo! Choo! It's time to go on a great railway adventure! But don't worry, you don't have to leave the comfort of your home for this trip. Ticket to Ride is easy to collect and fun for the whole family. The object of the game is to collect different types of train cars to claim railway routes across the country or continent. The original edition takes place in North America, but there are other versions in different regions of the world. The tension of the game arises when you have to decide whether to expand your railway empire or add more train cars to your collection; as you build your collection, your competitor can claim all the most valuable routes. Ticket to Ride may be simple, but it packs hours of fun. Days of Wonder Ticket for...

Carcassonne

(Image credit: Oliver Foerstner / Shutterstock.com) Carcassonne is a great entry-level game for people who are tired of endless Monopoly games and want something a little more thoughtful without being too complex. There's a reason it's considered a classic, after all. In Carcassonne, you take turns drawing tiles to expand an ever-growing map, while earning as many points as possible from the slots. It's really easy to learn, but every time you play, you come up with new strategies and new ways to win, or, more realistically, ways to beat your competition. Carcassonne board game ...

Catan

(Image credit: berni0004 / Shutterstock.com) Can I trade wood for sheep please? Catan is one of the greatest board games of all time and graces millions of tabletop collections around the world. It's easy to get ahead - you want as many resources as possible to build as much as you can and therefore earn points, and you're very tactical while also rushing to claim resources before the other players. If you're looking for a springboard from a more traditional board game like Monopoly or Cluedo to something a bit more specialized, Catan is the perfect transition. Catan Card: Family Edition ...

Maze

(Image credit: Ravensburger) Labyrinth is a classic maze game that spawned dozens of clones, and it's easy to see why; it's simple enough for even young children to learn, the games are fast-paced, and things can get surprisingly sharp when adults get involved. The maze itself is a maze made up of randomly arranged printed tiles, with a remainder. Players take turns pushing the spare token towards the edge of the maze to rearrange their paths and find a way to escape, or sabotage their opponents' plans, depending on how cruel they feel.

Formula D

(Image credit: Asmodée) The brakes were applied during this year's Formula 1 season, but you can replicate the thrill of racing on your coffee table with Formula D. The premise is simple (be the first across the finish line and taking the checkered flag), but the game is surprisingly technical, involving speed changes determined by dice rolls, carefully calculated pit stops, and penalties for shoddy driving. Add drift and track spice debris even more. A great option for the whole family, it supports up to 10 players.

Track / Track

(Image credit: SamJonah / Shutterstock.com) Another classic, so much so that there's even a movie based on it. Cluedo (or Clue, as it's called in North America) is pretty much an Agatha Christie novel in board game form. Someone has been murdered and it's up to you to move around a mansion, uncover clues, until you have a theory of who did it, what room they did it in, and what weapon they used for this despicable act. Was it Professor Plum with the key in the library? Or was it Reverend Green with the study candle? The game is on. Hasbro Gaming - Cluedo, ... Hasbro Gaming Cluedo Junior ...

King of tokyo

(Image credit: IELLO) You may think you're the nastiest giant monster in the world, but so are all your friends. The King of Tokyo puts you in the shoes/feet/tentacles of a colossal beast rampaging around a metropolis, growing stronger as you fend off your monster friends and pesky humans who retaliate with tanks and Planes. It's a delightfully silly game with bright colors, easy-to-learn gameplay, and a cast of witty monsters straight out of the order book of 1950s sci-fi B movies. Live out your favorite Godzilla/King Kong/alien invading fantasies. with the king of Tokyo!

Risk

(Image credit: LunaseeStudios / Shutterstock.com) The first time you play, you might hate it. It takes years, you have to think as much about what others will do as your own moves. There is a gamble with every roll of the dice, and yet you learn to appreciate the balance of opportunity and skill. Feed the chance to rejoice as you attempt to spread your armies across the globe, while protecting your previous conquests. You play head-to-head with up to six people at once and there's always the chance to reverse another player's perceived dominance with a left-field strategy you hadn't planned on.
