Choosing a Family Board Game

We’d like to give a shout-out to The Dicey Goblin online board game store.

A few days ago they posted an article we wrote on 5 Steps to Choosing the Right Board Game. And we highly suggest you check it out.

We’ve been doing family board game and card game reviews for more than 5 years and are extremely familiar with how many games there are to choose from. We’ve posted both video and written reviews of only about 250 games.

I say “only” because there are a few thousand new games published every year!

But even still, our current game review list of 250 games presents a lot of fun family games to choose from. So taking some time to think through these 5 Steps to Choosing the Right Board Game before buying a game is a great process we highly recommend.

And once you’ve decided on a game, check out your local board game store. Or if there isn’t a friendly local game store (FLGS) near you, check out The Dicey Goblin online board game store.

12 Board Games for Kids to Make Family Time Fun

We’d also like to give a shout-out this week to another website where we were quoted this week: Care.com

They were working on an article for caregivers about children’s board games and turned to us for suggestions. And of course, we were more than happy to oblige.

While we shared a number of tips for what makes a good children’s board game, only 2 statements made the article. But that’s ok, because it means we’ll soon turn our suggestions to them into an article on our site. So keep an eye out for such an article coming from us soon.

However, they did included a number of our suggested fun children’s board games in their list of 12 Board Games for Kids to Make Family Time Fun.

The list is broken down into 3 categories: Toddlers, Preschool, and Grade School, with 4 games suggested for each range.

Check out these two articles and have a great week!
