A couple months ago, we created a board game photo quiz that people all around the world loved.
We heard from a lot of readers about how much they enjoyed the quiz and their hope that we’d do it again.
So here it is!

Our next favorite board games list is Brooke’s.
In looking over our video reviews, Brooke has done the most. When there’s a game she loves playing, she’s always quick to ask to do the video review of it.
One thing that was interesting to note in looking over Brooke’s list is that half of the games on her list are also on Mom’s Favorite Board Games list.
But lest you think it’s a case of “like mother, like daughter”, notice that other games on Brooke’s list are ones that mom can’t stand playing.

Just as the Force is strong with Luke Skywalker, we can sense the Board Game Force being strong with Caleb. Like his father before him, Caleb loves playing all sorts of board games.
When we started doing game reviews, he was 6.
When he made his 10 Top Board Games in 2012, he was 9.
So now at 12, how have his favorite games changed?
It’s time to find out.

It’s been 3 years since everyone in our family created our own Top 10 Games lists.
So we figured it’s time to revisit which games we each enjoy playing the most.
After all, we’ve played a lot more board games, card games, dice games, and party games since 2012. So it’s only fitting that some of those games now take their spot on our favorites list.

Since we starting doing board game reviews more than 6 years ago, our scope of contacts around the world has increased tremendously.
Not only have we worked with hundreds of global game publishers, but we’ve also heard from tons of parents and families all over the world. The vast majority of those are folks I’ve never met (nor anticipate having the chance to ever meet in person).
But those I have met face-to-face after connecting online through board games have all been wonderful people!
And just this week I had that experience again.
