Author: Silvie December 1, 2020 2 Comments

One of the things we enjoy most is our family game nights. Here are a few games that we think you’ll like. This is our list of game gift ideas we tried to include all age ranges. Let me know in the comments what you think and if there are more you think we should add.

Game Gift Ideas For Any Age

Thanks to our weekly family game nights we have come to enjoy many amazing games. Some of the ones you’ll find here we used to play with friends whenever they would visit. Now because of the pandemic, we aren’t having friends over, but I wanted to include them in case you’re looking for that particular age group. I hope you’ll find new and fun game ideas for all your gift-giving needs. Let’s get started.

Sagrada

As a skilled artisan, you will use tools-of-the-trade and careful planning to construct a stained glass window masterpiece in the Sagrada Familia. Players will take turns drafting glass pieces, represented by dice; carefully choosing where to place each one in their window. Windows have unique color and shade requirements, and similar dice may never be adjacent so placing each die is more challenging than the last. Fortunately, you’ll have just the right tools to help you through. Gain prestige by adapting to the preferences of your fickle admirers, and of course, by adding your own artistic flair while completing your glass masterpiece in Sagrada.

This was a brand new game for us to try and we highly enjoyed it! This is a game that’s quick to learn and quick to play. A round took us between 20 to 30 minutes. The rules are easy to remember and follow. It has quickly become a game that we all enjoy. Even the boys take it out and play with it together.

Available now at Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, Hobby Game Stores. Suitable for players ages 10 and up

Holi: Festival of Colors

Every spring, celebrants gather to spread color and cheer during one of India’s most vibrant festivals. Move around the festival grounds throwing colored “gulaal” powder onto your friends and the crowd. Aim higher and let your color fall from above on as many people as you can. For Holi is a time for playful mischief and a little friendly rivalry is just what the festival calls for… Playing Holi In Holi [hoh-lee], players gain joy by throwing color on the boards (higher levels are worth more points), getting color on others, and from collecting sweets. Play your color cards cleverly, climb up at the right time, and spread the most joy!

Available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Hobby Game Stores. Suitable for players ages 13 and up.

Prisma Arena

Begin your training as a Guardian of Hope in this fun, tactical, all-ages game of over-the-top arena combat. Spar alongside Mo’kon – friendly creatures that embody emotions. As you train, customize your hero with unique powers and costumes that reflect YOUR unique personality and play-style. Suitable for players ages 10 and up.

Available at Amazon and the Hub Games website.

Flip Over Frog

Help your brightly colored frogs take control of your tiny corner of the rainforest. Pay attention and cleverly place your frog tiles, causing those around you to flip face down OR face up. When all squares are occupied, the game ends and the player with the most face-up frogs is the winner. Suitable for all ages, Flip Over Frog packs a surprisingly tactical area control game into a small portable box. Suitable for players ages 6 and up.

Available at Amazon and the Hub Games website.

Brainwaves

Brainwaves is a series of games developed by game designers and neuroscientists with which players can challenge their episodic memory — their recent memory of autobiographical events. These compact, card-based games are designed and scientifically proven to exercise the brain to improve memory functions. These innovative memory games place demands on three types of brain functions: fluid intelligence, working memory, and long-term memory. Including, Brainwaves: The Astute Goose AGES 8+, Brainwaves: The Brilliant Boar AGES 8+, and Brainwaves: The Wise Whale AGES 8+.

Available at Amazon and the Thames & Kosmos website.

EXIT

EXIT: The Game is a series of party games for up to four players that offers a unique, unforgettable gaming experience. These games allow you to bring the excitement, intensity, and team spirit of an escape room to your living room. In each EXIT game, your team starts out locked in an imaginary room or trapped somewhere. You must solve a series of riddles and puzzles in order to unlock doors and reveal new riddles. Each correct solution brings you to another riddle and eventually to freedom. EXIT is constantly expanding with new stories. AGES 10+.

Available at Amazon and the Thames & Kosmos website.

What’s Wrong with Grown-Ups?

How often have you wished that your teen would stop playing video games, sending friends videos you can only hope are appropriate, and going out, and instead, share what they’re thinking… with you? What’s Wrong with Grown-Ups?, a new intergenerational card game from Authentic Agility Games, can help. A fun way to engage kids of all ages, the 500-question card game creates an open two-way dialog that allows you to make new connections and deepen your bond. They may think you’re cool — for a few minutes. Authentic Agility Games donates a portion of proceeds from your purchase to organizations advancing education and entrepreneurship.

Fog of Love

Playing Fog of Love is like starring in a romantic comedy, it’s a rollercoaster ride of awkward situations, laugh out loud moments, and difficult compromises you have to make. Two players will create and play two vivid characters who meet, fall in love, and face the challenge of making an unusual relationship work. Just like in a real relationship, you each might want different things. Do you stay true to yourself, or do what your partner wants for the good of the relationship? You can even decide to break their heart. There’s no guarantee it will end happily ever after, but you will always get a story full of surprises that will make you smile. Learn how to play Here. Suitable for players ages 18 and up.

Available at Amazon, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble.
