There is a prejudice that board games are an activity for children or young people. But today, they are produced that will be interesting to play for people of all ages. Many are intended for families, they provide fun and strengthen family ties.
Dixit
The Dixit board game was released in 2008 and instantly gained popularity. The game is quite simple - no complicated strategies, thinking about moves, collecting money or resources. Lightness and simplicity are already visible by what lies in the box: only a stack of 84 cards with bright unusual paintings drawn by the French artist Maria Cardo.
The essence of the game is that each player is dealt six cards. The first participant chooses any card from his deck, comes up with and sounds an association to it - a word, expression, song, poem. Others find pictures in their decks that evoke similar associations in them. Then all the selected cards are shuffled and laid out on the table, and all players try to guess which card belonged to the first player.
This game develops imagination, helps to better understand loved ones, and also just allows you to have a lot of fun - each round is accompanied by jokes, laughter and active discussion.
Agricola
Fans of more sophisticated and strategic games will love the interesting, kind, family game Agricola. Its rules are more complex - a whole instruction from several pages is devoted to them, but after one game everything becomes clear and simple, and most importantly - very exciting. The essence of the game is to create and develop your farm - collect resources, build and improve a house, raise cattle, grow cereals and vegetables. Despite the fact that the rules do not change, the game is very diverse thanks to an impressive set of cards from three different decks - one is aimed at interaction between players, the other allows you to develop independently, and the third is the simplest, it mixes various options.
You can take cards from the same deck, or you can mix them - thanks to them, strategies always turn out to be different, and the game never gets boring.
Scrabble
The famous "Scrabble" is one of the most interesting games for the whole family: it can be played by up to four people. Its meaning is to compose a variety of words on the field. The more words, the more reward points, with some letters being more valuable than others. This is not only an addicting game, but also a good vocabulary training. It is especially useful for parents to play it with schoolchildren: this way they will help children develop speech, improve literacy, and learn new words.
