It is good to take a break from screen time occasionally. There are times when you cannot enjoy the great outdoors due to various circumstances. Board games are a fantastic way to get everyone to the table for some collective escape.
During most of the week, it’s probable that your family is rushing through the craziness of work and school, barely finding time for a fast supper before homework at night. A traditional family board game, however, has the ability to inspire your entire crew to halt for a few hours and make a place for memories that will last a lifetime. You’ll be thankful to have a game that doesn’t require electronics and that the entire family can enjoy. Down below, we have gathered the best board games for a fun family night.
Trivial pursuit family edition
MARISA LASCALA/ GHK | Playing for the love of the game
In the 1980s, Trivial Pursuit’s popularity rose, but the game frustrated me as a child since I did not know the answers to the challenging knowledge questions meant for adults.
Fortunately, today’s children and families have a far higher chance of winning the little, desired wedges you add to your circular game piece when you properly answer each category’s questions. Trivial Pursuit Family Edition has questions in areas ranging from sports and leisure to science and wildlife, and the clever part is that there are distinct sets of cards for children and adults.
This is a fun and informative game for the whole family since even the youngest player is certain to teach you something new.
Disney villainous
This strategy game enables families to play as their favorite Disney villains, such as Captain Hook, Maleficent, Jafar, Ursula, the Queen of Hearts, or Prince John. Each villain has their own objectives for winning the game, but a common fate deck impacts all of them. The game is balanced so that it may be used with any previous Disney Villainous expansion sets. Ravensburger has also launched a Marvel Villainous line and a Star Wars Villainous line, albeit they tend to appeal to a slightly older demographic. This game is suitable for two to six players.

Magic maze
In Magic Maze, four wizards attempt to shoplift and escape from a shopping center before time runs out. Each player is accountable for a movement, as opposed to a character. Yes, this implies that one player is responsible for ensuring that each wizard walks ahead, turns left, or uses an escalator. The result is a frantic, near-silent situation that will test your family’s nonverbal communication skills to the maximum. If that’s your thing, winning the game jointly is about as fulfilling as it gets in board games.
Exploding kittens
Big Potato Games/ Catan Studios/ Days of Wonder/ Blue Orang | If you're going to play at all, you're out to win
This deceptively easy-to-learn card game offers several levels of strategy as players attempt to dodge exploding kitten cards. It blends entertaining features from traditional card games, such as Scabby Queen, with a contemporary twist. There is just enough intricacy to make things enjoyable but never enough to become complicated.
The card artwork depicts various adorable and not-so-adorable felines with specific abilities to turn the tables on your opponents. When the game becomes stale, expansions do an excellent job of injecting fresh life into it.
