There’s no better way for you and your clan to spend your downtime than by breaking out some of your favorite board games and having a family game night. Keep reading below to learn about a few of the most popular and exciting board games that are perfect for players of all ages and are certain to make your holiday season a blast!
1. Clue
This classic murder mystery has been popular for quite some time—and since it’s constantly reimagined and reinvented to include some of our favorite characters and universes, including Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars, there are few doubts that we’ll ever grow tired of trying to answer the age-old question: “Who dun it?”
2. Pandemic
This one might seem a little close to home, but Pandemic is an exciting, cooperative board game that’s certain to be a blast—and fortunately, you won’t have to worry about social distancing while you play it. Everyone works together to contain and defeat simultaneous fictional pandemics that are spreading across the globe before time runs out. Hopefully, the last few years have taught you a thing or two to help with this!
3. Catan
Formerly known as Settlers of Catan, this is perhaps the most popular board game that’s come out in the last few decades—it was released in 1995 even though it doesn’t feel quite that old! The game lets you collect and trade valuable resources while slowly (or quickly) building up your individual empire. There’s a great deal of strategy and cooperation involved along with a healthy dose of betrayal among players!
4. MTV: The Throwback Music Party Game
If you or someone in your family is a music buff, this is one of the best and most entertaining games to have at home! After splitting up into two teams, you’ll all have to play through two rounds that test your knowledge of music. Players will need to quickly name the titles of songs during the first round, while the second round swaps to a mixture of charades and Jeopardy. You might also make things even more fun by trying to record a video of each person’s performance for your extended family or the Internet audience to enjoy!
5. Bob Ross: The Art of Chill Game
Bob Ross is a bit of an icon—his calm, soothing demeanor as he paints scenes of nature is mesmerizing and quite easy to watch, and this game lets you step into his shoes to complete your own masterpiece! Players casually compete to be the first to finish recreating one of his idyllic paintings.
No matter what your interests are or where your skill level lies, there’s bound to be a board game out there that you and your loved ones can enjoy together this holiday season!
