Top Ten Family Board Games

Board Games To Play With Your Family

Is the board game officially dead? Like video killing the radio star, has X-box killed off the board game? Well, that, my friend, is up to us. We are the ones who must keep the board games alive and save the next generation from never knowing the excitement of a game where you actually look at each other, and not a big screen T.V.. And the matchless camaraderie where a game can be played by everyone at the party, not just the ones with controllers.

Are board games dead? Not if we resurrect them. And resuscitate them. And play them with our kids. Here are the ten best board games that are fun for the whole family. And there's not one controller to be seen! These are games that are great to play at Christmas, with your family, or on a rainy Saturday when everyone's stuck inside. These games are all social games, meant for a group, and they get everyone involved. These games will get you talking to you each other, and laughing out loud!

Before we started this tradition we were having trouble getting them away from the TV and now they come asking us to play games. Just imagine!

This year there have been some really great games released that kids, adults, and teenagers like. I'll try to cover a few options for each category so you're sure to find something here that you like

Monopoly The.com Edition Amazon Price: $24.95

Monopoly: The .Com Edition

This is definitely a Monopoly board suited for our times -- instead of the usual locations, they’re replaced with 30 of some of the biggest websites on the net, such as eBay, Yahoo, Cnet, CBS, and tons more. The only thing that I can complain about is the ironic fact that while it’s based on e-commerce, it has paper money and not credit cards. I’d still definitely love to add this to my collection, though!
