I don't think these games require much comment. As you can see, I play a lot of games with my kids. There are a couple "gamers" games here, but mostly it's been family time.

8 plays. This one comes out with the game group and with my wife sometimes. I like that there's some thinking, but you can still have a conversation while you play this.

6 plays. What can I say, my daughter loves Monopoly. We play it pretty quickly and show no mercy, so we can get a game knocked out in 90 minutes or so.

5 plays. A recent rediscovery by the family. My son wasn't so sure about this one (a lot going on on the board for him), but after smashing his mother's boat and shark eating his sister, he enjoyed it.
