I want to buy a board game for my sister as a gift but, since I will be the one who has to play with her, i want something moderately enjoyable for me too
She's 8 years old

Cranium. Cranium is a party board game, invented by Whit Alexander and Richard Tait in 1998 and manufactured by Cranium, Inc. Cranium is billed as "The Game for Your Whole Brain." Unlike many other party games, Cranium includes a wide variety of activities. We have had a lot of fun with this game.

We STILL play board games when we get together...and my kids are 25, 26, & 28. We have friends over to play games a lot, too. One of our favorites is deluxe Aggravation.We wore out so many cardboard ones, that we made a wooden board! We play 3 teams of 2, and when one of the partners gets all his marbles home, his rolls count toward the other partners moves. We also love Yahtzee, Guesstures, Balderdash, Last Word, and all the versions of Trivial Pursuit. And try Farkle, it's a fun dice game. Good for you for keeping those kids occupied and out of trouble. They will treasure the fun they have with you!

20 Questions for Kids is great. I know all the answers, so I have to hold back. Or how about Uno? (the card game)
Chess is also fun for both. My 9 year old is really good at it.
Girls usually like puzzles. I don't know if you do, but the 3D ones are really cool. We've made the Santa Maria and also a german real working clock tower.
Hope that gives you some ideas.

I work in a before school program and we always have this problem - if I ever have to play Candyland again I will put my eyes out. I like Othello - even little kids can develop strategy. Also, consider cribbage. And eight year old can learn to play with a little practice - really good for the math skills.

Not a board game but my kids at that age loved Uno. Hours of fun and time with them.

Boggle. It is a word game that she can play and find small words in her vocabulary and when you play with her you can find much larger words that you can teach her. It is fun for both of you and Educational!
