Very small kids can just buddy up with a parent and help pick or place tiles where they are told.
We give them hints on where they can put their pieces or help them rearrange. Place the tiles in groups based on color or sequence- and try to be the first one to go out!Īs a family- we aren’t too competitive so younger kids get a lot of help. If you haven’t played before- Rummy-O is like the Rummy card game, but uses colored and numbered tiles instead. And I was so excited when my kids were finally old enough to play with me!įrom the start they made it their life’s goal to beat the Rummy-O master (me) and I am proud to say that most of them can now rearrange the entire board to place one piece just like me! Rummy-O (or Rummikub) has been a favorite of mine since I was a kid. The concept is simple, but fun, making it the perfect fit for families with multiple aged kids. You also draw only 3 Kingdom Builder cards each time- which changes how you place your pieces each time. You have 8 boards to choose from, but only 4 are used in any given game, so the board is always different. Kingdom Builder is another game similar to Catan (can you tell that one is a favorite?!) What I love about this family board game is that it’s different every time. Pre-readers may need help reading the cities and being shown the path they should take to get where they are going- but they are fully capable of drawing cards and placing the correctly colored train cars.Īnd again, the 2 year old just plays with the extra trains while we play! This is another game that all the kids- 4 and up can play. It’s all about building your train line between the US Cities and trying to create as many lines as possible and building the longest train. I bought Ticket to Ride because it was listed as similar to Catan, which we already loved.
#CATAN BOARD GAME AGES HOW TO#
My daughter could play with game at 5 years old- maybe 4- not really well, and she never wins, but she understands the concept and how to play just fine. It’s a 4 player game- but there are expansion packs that can add to the game. Collecting cards, building roads and settlements, and talking your opponents into giving you something they have and you want. This board game is great for strategy- but there’s an element of bartering and trading that other games don’t have that is super fun. I was first introduced to Settlers of Catan years ago and I was hooked. (And the 2 year old just plays with the extra pies!) We modify the cards- with my 7 and 10 year olds reading the kids cards, the 12 year old playing from both decks, and 14 and up use the adult cards. Meaning even younger kids can play and still get questions correct. The Family Edition has 2 sets of cards, one for kids and one for adults. We got this version of Trivial Pursuit this past Christmas and it’s been a great game for us. Younger kids can easily buddy up with a parent or older sibling and work as a team. On their own, I’d say Clue is fine for any kid of reading age. It’s a great game for strategy and really thinking through how to narrow down who did it. We still have the same board game I used when I was a kid!
I absolutely LOVED it when I was a kid, which means I love to play it now with my kids. Here are some of our favorite family boards games- they are all ones that can be played by multiple players of multiple ages- so almost all the kids can take part with little or no modification.ġ1 Best Family Board Games for Multiple Age Players Please click here for more information about cookies collected and our privacy policy **.
