Thanks for the feedback Paul. Book Boy enjoys Blokus but it doesn’t have the same repeat pull as Guess Who or Don’t Wake Daddy. Perhaps when he gets older.

Hi,

I just wanted to make comment on your top 5 Board Game entry. Unfortunately in general individuals exposure to quality board games in North America is lacking. Monopoly being a case in point; a game that drags out for a long time and is generally not enjoyed at the end. With the exception of Apples to Apples the list you provided was not a great one.

Games you might consider in a future update:

Ticket to Ride (great family game for all ages, plays quickly and is exciting)
Settles of Catan (age about 9 and up good trading game very interactive)
Blokus (has a Tetris like feel)
Carcassone (tile laying game)
Thats my Fish (a game I have never played heard good things about)
Myster of the Abbey (kind of like Clue but better same ages as Clue)

Almost all the people I have introduced these games to have loved them.

There a lot more games I could list. May I suggest visiting boardgamegeek.com although it caters to adults. There are a number of Geeklists and discussions devoted to games appropriate for all ages.
