Board games are a great way to get the family together, ditch the screens, and build core family memories.


All of the games listed here are able to be played on Shabbos and Yom Tov, which is usually when our board games get the most play time. 


Why not get the popcorn popped, order the pizza and make Motsai Shabbos a game night, too! Check out our Family Favorites, Young Kids, and Solo Player games picks!


Family Favorites 

 

 

People across the globe are obsessed with Catan. While there are quite a few rules and a bit of a learning curve, once you know how to play it can entertain for hours. Yes, literally hours. Build your settlements the biggest and win!

 

 

 

 

2. Go Undercover And Guess The Clues Before The Other Team

 

What a great game that is super fun but also challenging you to think! Come up with crazy connections and give clues over to your teammate with one word hints, but be sure not to guess any of the opposing team’s words! Hours of fun.

 

 

 

 

3. Get To Really Know Your Family With This Bonding Game

 

Here's a cute trivia game that's all about your family members! With silly challenges thrown in you will be laughing the whole night through.

 

 

 

4. Not Your Average Uno - This Is Uno Flip

 

Familiar as the old classic, but with a new twist. If you're getting bored of regular Uno, this inexpensive game is a fun way to change it up - flip the cards when you least expect it to switch up the whole game!

 

 

 

5. The Game Of Quick Thinking!

 

Roll the dice for different challenges! Go around the room naming things from a category until someone hesitates or repeats, or challenge one person to say 5 Things in a category. Whichever challenge it is, be sure to have a lot of good ideas up your sleeve in this game of quick thinking! A fun way of engaging even the most cynical non-gamers.

 

 

 

 

6. Laugh Out Loud As You Talk With One Word Sentences

 

This hilarious game forces the players to sound like cavemen, because you’ll be talking in one word sentences. Speak with multiple syllable words and fear the bop of the (inflatable) wooden stick! Craziness will ensue.

 

 

 

7. The Fun Game Of 20 Questions

 

Wear your word on your forehead with this cute version of 20 questions. Ask about your secret word while answering the other player’s question. Who will guess their card first?!

 

 

 

 

8. The Funniest Game Of Bluffing You Will Ever Play

 

Can you blend into the crowd without your cheeks growing red? With the genius use of cards instead of writing you will be able to play this game on Shabbos or whenever! Get chosen as “the chameleon” but don’t give it away or you’ll lose!

 

 

 

 

9. A Great Game Of Logic And Strategy

 

Take Rubik's Cube thinking to the next level in this 2 player game. It may seem easy enough to get 3 in a row, but factor in the moving sides and ability to flip it upside down when you drop your cube! Will keep entertaining for hours.

 

 

 

 

10. An Interesting Game Of Building Cities And Settlements


Who can build the largest metropolis? Using physical landmarks and strategy, see who can build the biggest land area and put their people (or should we say meeple) on it in this Board Game. A quicker game play than similar games (cough cough Catan).


 

 

 

11. A Super Quick Game Of Cards That Lasts All Shabbos Long

 

Stacks of cards pile up all over with this fast-paced game of cards. Similar to the game of Spit we all played when we were younger, this game allows for multi players, which ensues in chaos and hilarity! Finish your cards first and yell Stop! to win.

 

 

 

 

12. This Cute Game Is Fun And Easy To Learn

 

Even the little guys will want to get involved with this one. Choose to build a delicious taco or burrito, the one with the best ingredients at the end will win! Watch out for the Health Inspector and Tummy Ache cards!

 

 

 

 

13. The Fast Paced Game Might Get A Little Loud

 

This game is simple. Just blurt out the word that’s being described on the card. Sounds easy? You’ll be surprised at how tricky it might be to describe something as obvious as a pencil! Also a great vocabulary growing game for the younger kids.

 

 

 

 

14. Another Awesome Word Game That Might Get Loud

 

Can you shout out your opponent’s card before they say yours? When you match with another player, say something from the category that they are holding and win their card. The player with the most cards wins!

 

 

 

Younger Kids: Build Skills And Have Fun!

 

15. Every Jewish Home Has One Of These Memory Games Right?

 

We love this classic game for a reason - instill the home with Jewish concepts at the same time as exercising their brain power. For even younger kids (ages 4 and below) we recommend you leave the cards flipped over. If you want the game to end in under an hour that is!

 

This is a Great Game that a lot of therapists use for working with children. It's fun to try and think quickly and also uses a searching skill. Pull out two cards and try to find the common image between the boys of them - more challenging than it sounds!

 

 

 

17. This Unique Game Will Amaze And Teach!

 

Can you set the magnets up to match your card before your other teammate does? Learn about polarity and magnets as you play this super cool game with your little ones. 

 

 

 

 

18. A Cute Learning Game For The Little Ones

 

Match your shopping cart in this sweet game that is a hit with kids. They can play with an adult or by themselves, win win!

 

 

 

 

19. The Classic Game Of Charades Gets A Kid-Friendly Update

 

We love playing charades, and while it doesn’t always require a physical game to go with it, these cards make it a fun independent play for younger kids. Using pictures instead of words (genius) little kids can pick a card and act it out for the whole family (Instead of Mom or Dad whispering a suggestion in their ear). Love how it fosters independence!

 

 

 

 

20. Kids Absolutely Love Using The Zingo Word Dispenser

 

Beloved and played again and again, kids absolutely love playing this updated bingo game. Using pictures and a fun tile dispenser makes this game a good time. Pssst, kids can even play this one by themselves…which might buy you some time to get into that book you’ve been waiting for.

 

 

 

21. This Parent-Child Game Works On Social Skills While Having Fun

 

A game just for you and your little one! Toddlers will have fun doing the motion on the card. Can they high five you? Can they stand on one foot? Have fun monkeying around and creating core memories :)
