Always BOARD

Y'all ready for this?

It's time to get your GAME ON!

My youngest and I were perusing the aisles of Target (as we tend to do once a week or so) and as he sat in the cart, he said to me, "I'm going to close my eyes. What if you pushed the cart somewhere new and surprised me?"

Who am I to say no to such a bizarre and funny request?!

We ended up by all of the games. I typically don't stop at the games at Target because they all start running into each other and I can't remember which one a friend recommended and which one we played on vacation that was pretty dumb.

I took it to Instagram, as I sometimes do.

I asked on the Stories of @kidsaretheworst what their favorite family game is. And BOY, did I get a lot of responses. You all like to play games. I knew I loved you all.

Here are the top NINETEEN games suggested (with direct links):

Codenames
Wits and Wagers
Telestrations
Qwirkle
Blokus
Quelf
Tenzi
Bears Vs Babies
Dutch Blitz
Secret Hitler
Exploding Kittens

And I was surprised at how many suggestions I got for CLASSIC games—some I would even call OLD SCHOOL:

Settlers of Catan
Bananagrams
Uno
Clue
Apples to Apples
Taboo

So many games, so much less screens.

Did your favorites make the list? Which ones did I forget?
