family games

Group play activities

Family games are games designed to be played together by people of different ages, typically parents and children.

The term implies accessible rules, moderate competition, and content appropriate for all ages.

Board games, card games, and video games marketed this way emphasize shared fun over complex strategy: We played family games all afternoon during the reunion.
