Family Games

• Ages: usually 8+ (sometimes 6+ if streamlined)
• Rules: still approachable, but with real choices
• Time: 20–60 minutes
• Depth: enough strategy/variety that adults don’t feel bored
• Fairness: often includes catch-up mechanics or “skill compression” so kids can compete.

Examples of what you’ll see: roll-and-move, memory match, simple set collection, quick dexterity games.
