Family games sit in the sweet spot: simple enough to play with the whole family, but with enough choices to keep adults engaged too. You can explain the rules in 5 to 15 minutes, and a game usually lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
This is the category where you will find well-known titles such as Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne and Azul. Games that have been popular for years because they work for almost any group: whether it is an evening with friends, a family weekend or a quiet Sunday afternoon.
