Make Every Night A Family Game Night!

There’s a lot going on during the week and even more on the weekends. I always feel like there is something to do, big or small. Whether it’s running errands or doing 3 loads of laundry, my hands are always full. To avoid pulling my hair our completely, I have found a relaxing way to wind down and enjoy time with my family. Game night! Everyone in my family enjoys exercising their minds and intellectual skills with a good board game. We play new games, old games, strange games, and games that just don’t make much sense at all! Games like Monopoly have developed into different versions and styles several times over the years. There is even an electronic banking edition. If that’s not evolution of a board game then I am not sure what it is. I’m curious to see what they come up with next…

Can you believe that over the past 9 years board game sales have more than doubled? I can’t say I am too surprised. When I walk into any toy section I notice that what once was a small wall of 20-30 games has now expanded to what seems an endless selection for all ages and interests. These games include those that are educational, strategic, competitive, complicated, trivia oriented, and my favorite- multiplayer! What fun is a game if you can’t play with more than one person? I love gathering around the table with friends or family to enjoy hours of game play, popcorn included of course. Take a look at the long and very interesting history of “board games” and where they originated. You may be surprised! Check the info-graphic below for additional information.

There are many games from my childhood that bring back the fond memories of friendly competition and endless laughs. Almost all of them come from my favorite brand, Hasbro. Hasbro has been making board games for years now. A few of their most popular games are Twister, Sorry, Operation, Monopoly, & Trouble. These are all classics that I grew up with and still own to this day. I think every family game night should include at least one of these. Incorporating board games into your traditions is a great way to get the family together and unwind from a busy week. The whole purpose of game night is to have fun so make sure to choose a game that everyone can enjoy together. Once you develop your own collection of board games, you will have an active arsenal for rainy day blues and boredom!

What board games, new or old, do you enjoy playing with your family?
