Fun Family Games you can play in 20 Minutes
If you’re short on time but don’t want to be short on fun, try one of these 10 family board games! Each are great for families with players ages 6-8+ and can be enjoyed in about 20 minutes or less!
Draftosaurus
A family favorite! Create a dinosaur park that attracts visitors by drafting adorable dinosaur meeples and placing them in enclosures that have unique placement restrictions.
A Fistful of Daisies
This is a new game that’s been a hit with our kids. Take on the roles of cows ready to fight each other to win beautiful flowers. The cows function as your dice! Silly fun for the whole family.
For Sale
One of our long time favorite card games! Purchase valuable properties for the lowest cost possible and then flip them for a profit! The player with the most money at the end wins!
Ohanami
Perfect if you’re looking for a relaxing game. Grow the most zen Japanese garden by drafting cards of the right value.
Mass Transit
Work together to help the commuters make it home by constructing transit routes in this cooperative card game. Also fun solo!
Kokoro
A flip and write where you’ll build paths through the forest, gather offerings, and win the favor of the guardians. Games play quickly thanks to simultaneous action taking.
Scout
One of our favorite games to discover last year, Scout is all about putting on the best show. Play circus acts (numbered cards) from your hand to try and put on a show none of your opponents can top. Recruit new acts into your hand on the rounds you can’t to make your circus troupe better.
Silver & Gold
A flip and write meets a polyomino puzzle! Mark different configurations of X’s on your cards to fill them up, score bonuses and win!
Point Salad
A hit with almost anyone! Point Salad has you drafting different vegetables to make the sets you’ll need to satisfy the scoring conditions you choose. Fast, strategic, and fun!
Lost Cities
Create expedition routes to earn points in this classic two player game.
