Quarantine family game night suggestions

[MJN]

Last few Fridays we've been doing something simple like popcorn and movie. Saw something online a movie theater was selling popcorn so I went got some and Onward just came onto Disney plus. My kids are 3 and 5. Kids game we've been playing is Zingo and lots of candyland. Tried slap jack but that ended in tears...

FYI CAH has a family version that they are letting you download and print for free.

The past few weekends we’ve been playing a lot of games on zoom with family members we can’t go see. We’ve been doing a lot of the Jackbox party pack games but they’re starting to get a little stale because they’re basically all the same concept.

Anybody have any suggestions for new games? Bonus points for being easy to set up (not having to have everyone download or set up accounts).

Hide and seek. Just don't do the seeking part and the kids are out of your hair.

Simple time killer. Someone reads lyrics in a melodramatic way. Others have to guess (or sing) the song. My middle schooler loves it. She started playing it with her friends on zoom.

Shuffle the two together for a game night the whole family will remember.

Ticket to Ride is awesome. We have the Greats Lakes and World version.

Europe one is fun too

My advice is to buy a Nintendo Switch and extra controllers before they start limiting deliveries or lock everyone down. There are a lot of family friendly games like Mario Kart or Mario Party that everyone can play.

Exploding kittens is fun. Not sure how you could do it on zoom however

Saw this today and thought it was a neat concept... https://explodingkittens.com/how-to-play/quarantined-kittens

We'll host a game night on our discord sometime soon. If someone has a game suggestion let me know.

I've been playing 500 (card game) online for free through trickster games with 3 other buddies, which we also use a zoom feed during for the social aspect. It worked well and was a blast.
