Family games are a great way to hang out and have fun together. The selection of games is large. But what makes a good family game? It should be suitable for multiple players and be fun for different age groups. If a game meets these requirements, not only parents and children can play together, but also grandma, grandpa, uncle, aunt or anyone else who feels like it. Here you will find a colorful selection of card, dice, board and strategy games. From very simple to complex games, there's something for everyone. A family game is a parlor game, usually a board or card game, that can be played by the whole family without any age restriction. Young players should not be overwhelmed or older players should be bored. Typical starting ages are eight to ten years. Family games rely on simple rules that can be learned quickly and still allow a variety of moves. An important characteristic of family games is that no player has to be eliminated early, so that everyone can play together until the end of the game. Often regulating game principles can be found through which a leading player experiences small disadvantages in order to allow the competitors to catch up more easily and to balance the game. The playing time is typically 45 - 60 minutes. The Game of the Year game award specifically honors family games.
