    After reading this thread a while ago, we got Blokus for DS7's birthday and it was a hit! (Did I mention that I love this forum...)

    Last night after the boys were tucked up in bed, DH and I found ourselves playing Blokus until late - how did that happen smile

    Our family loves Set and Blink (both card games) and our new favorite is Qwirkle. It's played with a domino type playing piece. I ordered it from Hearthsong,but I picked up Blink at Target.

    We love all three of those games too! We also bought a game called Wordigo this winter that is scrabble-ish, but played simultaneously on separate boards. The boards are at four different levels, so players can compete even if they are not well matched on the scrabble board smile.

    We love Blokus. It takes planning.

    Mancala was one of my daughter's first games and this game takes planning as well. I cannot remember how old she was when we began playing it, but she was not in school yet. If you have the marble and wood version, it has a unique sound to it that feeds the senses.

    The Amazing Labyrinth is a great game! We've had it a few years. I should actually try that one with our almost 5 year old now. I'm sure she could play it.

    Settlers of Catan is allot of fun, I don't know how educational but allot of fun as long as my brother isn't playing.

    My little brother (the one with ADHD) actually loved Chess for quite awhile, got really into it!

    Monopoly is still a great game! However it has been banned in my family's home because of fighting laugh.

    I remember playing labyrinth when I was very young but I think the pieces were spread out over the house.

    This made me smile: We finally bought Settlers of Catan (we were waiting for DD9 to be old enough) and played it for the first time this weekend. We are so hooked. We stayed up until 1:30am Saturday night playing (yes, we even let DD9 stay up playing with us)! It was so fun, so I decided to come and post it on this forum to make sure you all know about it.

    I first searched for it thinking I should make sure everyone doesn't already know about it. My search results included this thread, which I think I started a while ago. We still love Labyrinth, but Settlers of Catan is a new family favorite.

    OH, and we decided we waited too long to get Catan since DD9 beat us the first time we played ;-)

    Anyone have other game recommendations?
