More family board games

There are so many family board games. Here are some others that we liked.
Dorfromantik: the duel for $ 39:: Video games based DorfromantikWho has generated a cooperative board game, this spin-off suits you against another player while you draw tiles to build a landscape and try to finish tasks along the way. With identical sets in red and blue, it is a question of knowing who builds a better environment to satisfy their villagers and mark the most points. The playing time is less than an hour. You could play with two teams, but it works better as a game with two players.
Hey hey relay for $ 18:: This super idiotic dice game is a race between two teams with challenge cards, causing silly voices and physical actions before being able to continue. It’s quick and chaotic to play, but probably the best for young people (manufacturers suggest 6 and over). My children didn’t like it much, but it could be a funny party game.
Ship Show for $ 32:: This cooperative game throws players as stockers and sender and challenges them to properly ship the orders by guessing the correct tiles according to the indices provided by the way they were grouped. The time limit adds pressure, and this can be fun for the right group (you must be on the same wavelength), but we have found that the expectation that the stockers set up was dull for the sender, and the score was laborious.
Flip 7 for $ 18: The thrill of pushing your luck is the draw for this hybrid card game, when you hit or cover the blackjack, trying to get seven cards in front of it. Special action cards and modifiers mix things, allowing a tactical game. Suitable for three players or older, 8 and over, it only takes 20 minutes to play.
Voltage: the name of 10 best for 10 for $ 43: Subject cards have 10 articles in a category, and the opposing team is 60 seconds to guess as much as possible. The cards are divided into two colors (easy and more difficult), which facilitates the game with children or adjusts the difficulty on the fly. It works well with any age or team size, but prepare for a lot of cries and laughter.
Indiana Jones Cryptic for $ 39: An escape puzzle game with Indiana Jones Styling is a license match made in paradise. This game is beautifully illustrated, with three cases to solve this story of matches of the original trilogy, the narration of Indy’s Journal and Coin Rewards for Success. The puzzles are a little affected (sometimes too easy, sometimes too hard), but once resolved, you will no longer want to play, although you can always pass the game.
You must be kitten! For $ 12: A simple touch on the diced liar which focuses on the bluff and the call of the bluffs; I am two spirits on this game. On the one hand, the game is not special, but on the other, cute cats! My daughter obsessed with Moggy immediately wanted to play, and we had a few laughs with scandalous cliffs on the number of glasses, hats and nuclei on these felines.
Poetry for Neanderthals for $ 20: Each card has a word, and your apparently simple task is to ensure that your team can guess it correctly within the time speaking only in unique syllables. If you violate the rules, the opposition can hit you with the inflatable stick “no”. Suitable for two to eight players aged 7 and over, he is noisy, silly and usually makes everyone laugh.
Danger of danger for $ 12: Fast and frantic, this simple card game for two teams is to try to have cards with a strong score at the end of each tower. There are no turns, you can cover the cards from the other team and the towers are timed, but you have to guess when the turn will end. Super simple and very quick to play, this game can become chaotic.
Which intensified quickly for $ 20: This game is fast, easy and fun for up to eight players. Presenting scenarios such as “I invented a new sport, what is it?” Players must provide suggestions at least dangerous (1) to the most dangerous (10) depending on their number awarded for each round. The chief of the round must try to put them in the right order. It works better with full -minded players who know each other well.
Kitchen Rush for $ 55: A truly unique title that proves that too many cooks can spoil the broth; This game can become chaotic quickly. You work together to cook dishes for customers in a strict time. It’s a little too complicated for young children. (I would say that 10 and over are the best.) If you like it, try the video game Overcooked.
It seems fish for $ 21: Another fun group game from Big Potato, the Fishy sound challenge is to spot false answers. Each card asks a question, but only one of the answers you get is correct. It’s for four to 10 players, and we found it more fun but harder with more people.
Cards against humanity: family edition for $ 24: You can play this party game with up to 30 players, and that will not produce a little laughter and rich juveniles. Like the adult version, there is not a lot of strategy here, but finding the perfect combination to break everyone is satisfactory.
Do not bother
We were not so loved by these games.

Zilence for $ 29: As a group of zombie apocalypse survivors at the top of a skyscraper, you must choose the right flight track to hang the resources you need, determined by the cards. A tight time limit makes it difficult to choose the right itineraries in the tangled disorder on the game board, and it can be assembled differently for the rereading value. But the backdrop is incongruous, and we all agreed that it was not very fun to play.
Connect for $ 20: Connect different symbols to your board with a dry drying marker based on a random drawing challenge to make an image of something (like connecting points). The first to guess what he is supposed to win the round (some are only vaguely as what they are supposed to be). Longevity takes a hit, because there is no pleasure in replaying resolved puzzles.
A cat and mouth game for $ 27: Incredibly simple, this dexterity game challenges you to pull rubber bullets through the mouth of a cat with magnetic legs, but they end everywhere. Games tend to be very unilateral and my children were bored almost immediately. It is also impossible to play with real cats nearby.
