Whether your family already celebrates weekly game nights or you’re looking to unwind with your family after a busy week, there’s nothing quite like gathering around a board game, losing track of time, and enjoying time spent with the people you love most.
The challenge of family game nights is finding the right game. We searched the Internet far and wide to find six exceptional games that are both affordably priced and guaranteed to keep the whole family engaged.
I Want My Teeth Back is designed for ages 4 and up, but trust us — you’ll find yourself having fun right alongside your kids. The game combines a bit of math and a bit of risk-taking as you and your kids try to give your monster all of his teeth. Kids younger than 4 can get in on the fun as well — pair them up with an adult or older sibling who can help them create a monster-perfect smile. Each round of the game is super-fast, allowing you to play for a length of time that makes sense for you (and for the attention spans of your little ones).

Ready to get to know your loved ones a little bit better? Do You Really Know Your Family? is a conversation-sparking board game designed for ages 8 and up. It features fun challenges and engaging questions that all serve one purpose: getting to know the other players. The game is quick and easy to set up, and you can go from opening the box to getting started with the game in just a few minutes.
Current Price: $19.82
If you have older kiddos — ages 10 and up — you’ll love You Can’t Say “Umm”. While this game is great for playing with your immediate family, it’s also an intergenerational hit, so be sure to bring it to holiday gatherings where you can get older relatives in on the fun. One of the key parts of the game is listening for opponents to use verbal fillers like “um” or “hmm.” If you have kids that aren’t quite old enough to play, they can still join in on the fun by listening for these gameplay no-nos.

Get topsy turvy with the Upside Down Challenge! This game, designed for players ages 8 and up, comes with glasses that literally turn your world upside down. As you and your kid move through the game, you’ll explore challenges like writing your name and giving high-fives while your world is flipped—it’s harder thank you think! And, don’t be surprised if your kids keep playing with the glasses long after the game ends.

Moms, we’ve all been there, trying to guess what in the world an angry toddler is trying to say (my son once nearly pulled his hair out when I couldn’t understand that “little tweezers” meant “little Caesars”). Guess the Gibberish (designed for ages 12 and up) is a game that puts your deciphering skills to great use as you and your family try to make sense out of each card’s nonsense (for example, “mai y’all harm tid hint coe off” translates to “my alarm didn’t go off.”). You’ll laugh together as you decode phrases one by one. Bonus: This game can also be great entertainment for long car rides
Current Price: $13.99
You knew we weren’t going to end our recommendations without a throwback favorite! If you haven’t played the classic, fast-paced game of Bop It! with your family, there’s no time like the present. You’ll laugh together as you move through Pass It! mode, and your little ones will love practicing on their own in solo mode. Designed for kids ages 8 and up, there’s no maximum player limit on the Pass It! mode of the game, making it a great fit for birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and more. Pro tip: if your kid can’t get enough Marvel, they’ll love the Spidey version of the game!
Current Price: $11.99 (Regular) or $9.15 (Spider-Man Version)
