Summary: Happy Easter! Did you come up short looking for games that would work for your whole family this holiday weekend? Andrew and Anitra suggest 8 games (or types of games) that can work well across several generations.<br> What we’ve been playing:<br> <a href="https://www.northstargames.com/collections/happy-planet/products/funky-chicken">Funky Chicken</a> (see <a href="https://www.facebook.com/familygamersaa/videos/2027447517514695/">our video</a>)<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2Ikxbce">Sundae Split</a><br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2pYm0Py">Fairy Tile</a><br> Justice League: Road Trip (we won’t link to it. You don’t want it.)<br> <a href="https://www.target.com/p/ok-play-board-game/-/A-52119434">OK Play</a><br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2H00VLT">Pandemic Legacy</a> – for the first time in over a year. It’s good to get back!<br> <a href="https://amzn.to/2Gusn3q">EXIT: The Secret Lab</a><br> Trash Pandas (soon to be published by GameWright)<br> Games that Cross Generational Boundaries<br> We touched on this topic before, back in <a href="http://www.thefamilygamers.com/episode-14-a-thanksgiving-stuffing-of-games/">episode 14</a> – things to look for in games to be approachable by non-gamer family:<br> Shorter<br> Simple rules – But not necessarily simple strategy<br> Theme!<br> Party games can be good<br> Cooperative games can be good<br> Former suggestions included: Tokaido, Takenoko, Zombie Dice, Krosmaster Arena, Forbidden Island, Pandemic, Castle Panic<br> With the same ideas in mind, we present our top picks now:<br> Top Eight Games for Multi-Generational Play<br> 1. <a href="https://amzn.to/2Jch4Pl">Deep Sea Adventure</a> (Anitra suggests easier press your luck games – <a href="https://amzn.to/2GwrE1S">Zombie Dice</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2pY7Z3M">Batman Dice</a>, or <a href="https://amzn.to/2IicvSb">Can’t Stop</a>)<br> 2. <a href="https://amzn.to/2pWDlZp">Qwingo</a> or a similar easy-to-approach roll-and-write game. This allows everyone to talk and interact while working on their own individual scoresheet.<br> 3. <a href="https://amzn.to/2GNt7UL">Stop Thief!</a> – easy to approach by non-gamers. Fun to race and catch the thieves.<br> 4. <a href="https://amzn.to/2H1N4Vl">Concept</a> – or other party guessing games. But Concept feels very unique while still being quick to pick up. Partly because there aren’t teams! (other options: CrossTalk, Taboo, Charades, Codenames, etc.)<br> 5. <a href="https://amzn.to/2pY8rPw">Anomia</a> or <a href="https://amzn.to/2GQiO22">Duple</a> – how about <a href="https://amzn.to/2E9YqDS">Anomia Kids</a>?<br> 6. <a href="https://amzn.to/2GKONkl">Go Nuts for Donuts</a> – this has been a huge hit with our kids, and the adults they’ve dragooned into it all seem to enjoy it too.<br> 7. <a href="https://amzn.to/2IhX10g">Maze Racers</a> (two-player but speedy rounds)<br> 8. Funky Chicken (coming soon from Happy Planet / North Star Games) or <a href="https://amzn.to/2EfBNOw">Happy Salmon</a> – fun to watch even if you don’t want to play.<br> <br> PLEASE don’t forget to subscribe to the show, tell your friends about the show, and leave us a review at <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-family-gamers-podcast/id1031290391">Apple Podcast</a> or whatever your podcast subscription source is.<br> Sponsor<br> The Family Gamers Podcast is sponsored by Wild East Games.
