Whether you’re home for the holidays or you’ve been home a lot more since the spring, board games are always a fun option to bring the family together and provide opportunities for connection.
However, age and personality differences can make some games actually cause conflict! One solution to this problem is to play cooperative board games. These are games where you’re working together in some way to accomplish a goal, and usually the game has some kind of way where you have to accomplish the goal before something else happens (for example, before you turn over so many cards of one kind). Another great thing about cooperative board games is that even younger kids who wouldn’t be able to play a competitive strategy game can still join in on the fun by helping an older sibling or parent with the game.
Here are 20 of the best cooperative board games for families!
