I have a few go tos – I prefer the old classics. Our kids both love Monopoly (as much as that can go on forever), Uno and we also have a traditional family card game called ‘May I’. Our son is learning to play this as well and it’s probably my favourite!

The upside down game has to be the funniest game ever. Whilst miss 4 doesn’t understand it hubby, miss 6 and i laugh our bums off everytime we play. Its hilarious. The other game that our entire family love is loupin Louie thankfully a short game because young kids dont enjoy lengthy games yet. Oh and another great one is windy knickers, funny concept that has your kids hiding under the table

We love Codewords, one we discovered a few years back. Lots of fun. We are off on a cruise soon and I have bought some card games that I saw advertised that looked good. Ones that are good for families and kids, Exploding Kittens (the boys have tried this and loved it) Piles ( watched the video and looks like fun). Uno is an all time favourite.

One of the most favourite games in our family is a Dutch game called Jakkolo (in Dutch it is called sjoelen). You can buy it here in Australia online (for example ebay) and you look at a couple hundred dollars.
It’s a long narrow wooden table top board which has four holes and you have to aim to slide the discs through these holes.

I recently played Uno No Mercy with my siblings and in laws and it was so much fun. These rules are brutal. At one point I had a hand of 35 cards, which was then passed around the room many times. You go through a lot of emotions very quickly. You think you have a chance of winning, then suddenly you have the worst cards in the room
