Advice needed for good board game for whole family ages 21-81 !?

Question

Says it all really!

Answer 1

While trivial pursuit sounds good ... it would depend on how fast the 81 year old thinks. I just saw a game called Imaginiff. It's based on picking a person and using the cards statement to relate ... example Imagine if _____ was a vegetable which would they be 1. Broccoli 2. carrot 3. lettuce 4. cauliflower 4. green beans .... then points are given out. Simple and easy. We had a game called moods, there were phrases written on a card and you rolled the dice for the mood to say it in. We laughed a whole lot with this game.

You need games that don't make someone think too quick or have too much pressure since 21 usually react very quick and 81 like to take time and enjoy.

Answer 2

CRANIUM is complete fun for the whole family with 4 different categories which will pit teams against one another, drawing with no eyes, guessing words backwards, and humming old tunes.

If you have an even number of family members CATCH PHRASE will leave everyone with laughs and smiles on there faces. It is game of hot potato with an object that has to be passed as a timer increases with beeps until it goes off in someones hand. While the timer is going fellow team mates must guess the word on the game piece that holder has to act out by talking or gestures. It is a must own for any family team gamer and you can thank me later!

Answer 4

We bought a game many years ago called Moviemaker which says exactly what the game is about. We still have this and play it with age groups 8 to 82.
I would also recommend Articulate

Answer 5

Get Apples to Apples.

The object of the game is to make the best match.

You have a hand full of 7 red cards (nouns). Each round, one player is the Judge and turns over a green card (adjective).

Each player except the Judge secretly plays a red card they think will be the best match for the green card. Then the Judge picks the best match, and the player who played the best red card gets to keep the green card as a way to keep score. Then the next player is Judge for the next round.

For Example:

The Judge turns over a green card: "Annoying"

People play the following red cards:
Traffic
Mice
Nuclear War
Tom Cruise

The Judge thinks it over and eventually picks Tom Cruise. The person who played Tom Cruise keeps the green card "Annoying". Everyone except the Judge then draws a new red card to bring their hand back to 7. Now it's the next players turn to be Judge.

Heroscape. It's a strategic combat board game. Everyone in our family plays, that's age range 7 thru 49, I bet the grandparents would give it a go too, but they live 4 hours away.

Articulate is the best fun for all ages. As long as someone can read and articulate the answer in a way that the other team members can ascertain the answer you're on a roll. It can involve the young to the old all at once. It speaks volumes!!!!!!!!!!
