Evergreen Kid Board Games for Under 10's

If I had to narrow kid board games down to three main groups, they would be...

  • luck based - the outcome is purely determined by luck
  • using planning and strategy - the result is exclusively decided by the player's skill
  • involving player interaction - some cooperation between players is required

Luck Based

It's best to start children off with board games where they make almost no decisions. They build concentration through enjoyment of the game without being distracted by complicated other issues. They make no decisions, yet still enjoy the game.

Player Interaction

Very few 1 or 2 player board games use player interaction. Usually you find board games using player interaction requiring 3 or more players. Player interaction games are great for groups and families fun.

Planning and Strategy

The outcome of few games such as chess are entirely determined exclusively by planning.

Most great board games use a combination of luck and planning. A player may be set back by a few poor rolls of the dice in a game like Monopoly, but over a few games someone with a better strategy will almost always win. What I like about games involving the luck factors is that it makes for far more variations.
