This game started our vast collection of board games. And I still think blue classic Carcassonne is the best game of all time.

This is a game with very simple rules. It is not dynamic, rather even meditative. The goal of the game is to build cities, pave roads, establish monasteries and earn points on it. There is even a place for light or heavy competition, it's whoever likes to play. You can recapture built land or roads from rivals.

The inspiration for the game was the real medieval walled city of Carcassonne in the south of France. From 6 years old.

Set. The best logic game

This is not a game, but a brain explosion! I usually recommend it to everyone: both children and adults. It can be played even alone. The man who invented the game "Set" is a genius. How exciting a game can be, where you need to carefully consider geometric figures: rhombus, wave, oval. The goal of the game is to make a set (a set of three cards), where each of the signs will either match on all three cards, or differ.

To be honest, after this game, I feel that my brains are starting to move. It seems to me that Seth's game involves some cells of the brain, perhaps gray ones.

Dixit. The most beautiful game

This is the game I'm afraid to play with strangers. Still would! After all, the method of naming associations is very common in psychology. You name the association and bam! You've already confessed to the killer.

Very beautiful and smart game for a company of more than three people. Very good for people with creative thinking. It's very interesting to play! The goal of the game is just to have a good time. Although the winner is the one who moved his rabbit the farthest along the scoring field.

You need to guess your associations with cards, guess the associations of other players. I swear you will learn a lot about your friends during the game. It's a pity that it's so rare to play it. From 7 years old.

Delissimo. Best math game

The formal pretext for purchasing the Delissimo game is the study of fractions. In mathematics, this topic is always considered not the easiest. How to explain to a child what ordinary fractions are? Something whole is divided into parts… Doesn't understand. But if you divide the whole round pizza into different amount pieces? If in half, then it is 1/2. If in four parts, then 1/4. The learning process will immediately become more fun.

Fractions are digested on the fly, almost like a hot Margarita pizza. After a couple of rounds, you will be surprised to find that your child, who just seemed to have no idea about some fractions, easily beats you. And it's wonderful!

The game has three versions of the rules, starting from 5 years.

Train ticket for Europe. The most gift game

Another crazy beautiful game. The field is stylized old map. You need to choose your own railway routes and build them with pretty trailers. By the way, only from this game I learned that there is another Brest, and it is located in France. Very useful for knowledge of geography.

We only play this game new year holidays when there is a lot of free time. The game takes about an hour. You can play with two people, but of course the more players the better. By the way, because Europe is so small, and rivals strive to block the path to Barcelona or Athens.

Blitz. Day and night. The most exciting game

AAAA! I just happened to look at the Igroveda website and saw that the circulation of the game was over. I immediately ran to check if my two boxes were still there. Phew, they're on the shelf.

We in the family prefer Blitz to all speed gambling games. This is a completely crazy game that forces players to demonstrate the wonders of reaction and speed.

Please, when you read the rules of the game and don't understand anything, don't give up and read over and over again until insight hits you. Play in a company of three people.

Mr Jack in London. Best detective game

I have already written about this detective game so many times that, frankly, I'm tired. In short - the best detective game. Boring "Cluedo" is resting. From 8 years.

Dobble. The best game for attention and reaction

An amazing game of attention and reaction. It is played with the same interest by small five-year-old children and quite adult people. Objects are depicted on round cards different size. You may not believe it, but any two cards have at least one identical symbol. Sometimes you look and look, but there is nothing in common between the cards, well, no. Suddenly the child grabs both cards. All ??? with reaction have children as something better. From 5 years.

Timeline. Best Historical Game

I really love such simple games with meaning. The goal of the game is to get an idea about history, about inventions, discoveries. I do not know a single person who would not suffer with historical dates. With the game Timeline, learning them can be much easier. A game that adults play with more passion.
