Board game date nights are a staple around here. They’re a way that we can prioritize and make time for each other even when we can’t go out for the night. Over the years we’ve played a lot of games (over 300 unique games last year alone!) and I have a few tips for choosing the best one when it comes to date night!

A few years ago, Adam began a new tradition where every birthday, he’ll gather up his current favorite games for a big group photo. What began as just holding a few favorites morphed into holding one game for each year, all stacked together precariously, documenting the games he loves today.

If the game is complex enough to challenge your older kids, the younger kids might struggle to keep up. Pick a game at the level for a younger player and your older players might find themselves bored. 

That’s why it’s always so exciting to find new games that work for our big family and we’re happy to say we’ve found two strategy games that do just that!
