Duplik party game review

We recently wrote about Duplik a couple of times since both Mom and Brooke listed Duplik as one of their Favorite Board Games. It’s a fun game we just got a couple months ago and it quickly jumped into a top games spot for both of them.

When you hear it’s a drawing game, don’t be alarmed. You don’t need to be any sort of an artist to win.

How well you draw may not matter, but how fast you draw will have an impact.

Check out Brooke’s video review to see how to play Duplik as well as hear why she likes it so much.

20 Favorite Board Games – Dad

Now that everyone else in our family has shared their Favorite Board Games, it’s time for me, Dad, to share my favorites.

While everyone else in the family hasn’t updated their list since 2012, I consider my list a bit more frequently.

Last year (Fall of 2014), I posted my Top 100 Best Board Games. However, I didn’t consult that list, nor my 2012 Top 14 Best Board Games, before creating my current Favorites list below. I wanted to think through my favorites completely fresh.

8 Favorite Board Games – Brooke

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.

9 Favorite Board Games – Caleb

Now that we’ve shared the all-important Mom’s 12 Favorite Board Games, we’ll move on to the kids, starting with the youngest – Caleb.

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.

12 Favorite Family Board Games – Mom

Moms are plenty busy. That’s why it can be hard to get her to sit down and play a game.

After all, taking time out to play a game means that something around the house isn’t getting done, right?

That’s why we enjoy it when mom feels relaxed enough to sit down and play a game. And in those moments, of course we’re going opt for games that she’s interested in playing.

Updating Our Favorite Games!

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.
