For me, family games are the best part of this hobby. It’s a time
where we leave particular corner of the house and meet face to face
in one room (maybe in Dan’s case it’s an orange room!) It’s that
time where I, personally, have the fondest memories of my past
family and present. And playing a fun family game makes those
memories more prominent than the time you were were up every hour
to someone being sick. Or the day you sliced of a chunk of your
finger at work, a day before you had to perform two concerts, on
two consecutive days. Or…
So what are the key ingredients that make a family game a great
family game?
Is it the theme?
Is it the player count?
Is it the playing time?
Accessability?
Replayability?
Is it the the fact you can backstab or work as a team?
Is it the mechanisms?
Is it the playing pieces themselves?
Make a list of your top 3 family games everybody should own for
family.
