Skip-Bo

Skip-Bo is a classic card game that I actually learned as a child. It’s still a great family game that everyone enjoys. Players create stacks of sequences of cards using both strategy and skill. The first person who uses all of their cards wins. It’s by the makers of Uno so you know it’s good.

Uno

I’m not sure there are many people who haven’t played UNO but if you haven’t, players earn points by matching colors and numbers in order to get rid of all of the cards in their hand first. Uno is one of our favorites.

Spot it! Hip

Spot it! Hip is a great game. Spot it! is a line of card games where you match images. I’ve reviewed the Spot it! Holidays game which was loads of fun. Spot it! Hip is similar to that game but you need to match kitschy objects, hipster staples, guilty pleasures, and pop-cultural icons.

Name 5 Game

Name 5 Game will be a family favorite. Can you name 5 things that can make you sneeze? How about 5 vegetables that begin with the letter a? Believe me, it’s not as easy as you think it is. You need to come up with 5 answers to various topics before the time runs out.

Classic Waterworks

Classic Waterworks CAN be played by kids but honestly, it’s so much fun that you’re going to want to play it yourself. Basically, you are matching your cards to create a series of pipes that are leak-free. It’s fun and challenging.

  1. Love this list! I love Skip Bo and Uno and although I don’t have the hipster version, Spot it is fun. I SO want to get Take 5 and I have played computer versions of the Waterworks games so I’d love this version.

  2. We never played cards growing up, so all the old card games and new ones are very new to me. These look like a great time.
