My Top 20 Favorite Board Games for the Family! (Your Gift-Giving Guide for the Holidays!)

One quick point of clarification: I really should be saying my top 20 most recommended board games for the family... or maybe my favorite board games to recommend to families? (These are also all great “gateway” games, too… games that help to bring non-gamers into our hobby!) The ones at the top of the list are some of the most popular family games out there and the ones that I think most families would enjoy. But don't worry about the ranking too much either; even that was a little arbitrary at times! Every family is different and prefers different kinds of games, naturally!

If you are curious at all, my personal top 5 ranking for these games in order of how much I'd want to play them right now would be: Stone Age, Azul: Summer Pavilion, The Quacks of Quedlinburg, Downforce or Camel Up, then Splendor (with the expansion)!

Let me know if I missed any games in my list or ask me any questions you have about any of the games I mentioned in the comments below!
