Taking notes - we love games and are always on the lookout for new ones. I don't have experience with most of the ones above except Exploding Kittens and Monopoly.
Top games in our house with our 9 and 11 year olds -
Exploding Kittens - I don't mind it but it isn't my all time favourite, can result in conflict depending on the group playing but my kids have become better losers through the experience
Qwirkle (we have the travel edition and it is cheap and portable)
Trionimos
Blokus
Code Names
I'll also mention Scotland Yard which is fun but more time consuming so it doesn't get out as much as it might otherwise.
Now off to google some of the above suggestions. Thanks!
