Card Games for the Whole Family!

It’s the best night of the week, family game night! But what to play? Here are some of the best card games around that are tons of fun for the whole family!

Uno. A variation on Crazy Eights, Uno has delighted friends and families since its invention in the 1970s, and thanks to many variations of its own it now reaches a wider audience than ever! Kids and adults alike love the game’s unpredictability, and families can certainly add some of their own rules for an extra level of enjoyment.

Concentration. Sometimes the classics are still the best, and this time-testing matching game comes with plenty of single-player and multi-player variations. Cards are laid out in a grid with the goal being to match the pairs. Some versions reveal pictures or puzzles as the pairs are matched, but for those in a pinch the game can be played with nothing more than a single deck of standard playing cards.

Phase 10. Much like Uno, Phase 10 is a variation of an existing game, this time Contract Rummy, but with interesting twists and gimmicks. In each round, players must lay down the right number of runs or sets to move on to the next “phase.” The challenges do get more difficult as the rounds go by, making the game frustrating at times, but ultimately quite rewarding! The game has a number of variations of its own, ensuring that there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
