9. Herbaceous
We have another great family game to recommend: Herbaceous. You can’t help but want to collect and pot herbs as you play this relaxing game.
8. Wingspan
In Wingspan, players take on the role of bird enthusiasts, trying to collect the best birds for their wildlife preserves. It’s a great game for couples, and might just turn players into birdwatchers.
7. PARKS
PARKS does a great job of capturing the beauty and wonder of the US National Parks, and it’s a fun game for couples.
6. Forbidden Island
Forbidden Island is a cooperative game where the players work together to explore a mysterious island, find its treasures, and escape before the island floods.
5. Deep Sea Adventure
Deep Sea Adventure is a push-your-luck game with colorful components about diving for underwater treasure.
4. Sushi Go!
In this episode, we have another family game recommendation: Sushi Go! It is by far my favorite game about anthropomorphic sushi!
3. Love Letter
This episode features another family game recommendation: Love Letter. How much fun can you have with a game consisting of just 16 cards? As it turns out, a lot! Love Letter is one of our family’s favorite games.
2. Space Park
In this episode, I have another family board game recommendation, Space Park. In Space Park players cruise around the galaxy collecting crystals and trading those crystals in for badges.
