(we bought the expansion set so that we can all play) and Sleeping queens (my sister got this for the girls for Christmas and they play it ALL the time). Dutch Blitz says it's for ages 8 and up, but Charlotte (5) and Ella (6) can totally play it so don't let that stop you from trying it if you're kids are younger than 8.
I'm not talking about chickens here. Although I do have them on the brain. More about that later. We've found ourselves indoors a lot more lately due to the very cold winter we're having. When it's not subzero the kids do go outside, but I'm happier inside with a hot mug of tea and some knitting needles in my hands. Finding games that everyone can enjoy, from Pete and I down to the littles is pretty tricky. Candyland? I'd rather iron. And that's saying a lot. Chutes and Ladders? No way. Our favorites these days are Dutch Blitz (we bought the expansion set so that we can all play) and Sleeping queens (my sister got this for the girls for Christmas and they play it ALL the time). Dutch Blitz says it's for ages 8 and up, but Charlotte (5) and Ella (6) can totally play it so don't let that stop you from trying it if you're kids are younger than 8. What are your game recommendations? We bought Apples to Apples and I don't love it. I'd like to try Made for Trade and Milles Borne.

On Sundays we always have a fellowship meal after worship. The parents love to hang around and chat, so the kids play a lot of games to pass the time. Dutch Blitz is one that a large group can play. Instead of using the Dutch Blitz cards, each person has a regular deck of cards. We buy different kinds of decks when we are out. If we do have a similar deck, the girls will use some of our scrapbooking punches to identify the cards in a deck.

Aww I am glad you all like the Sleeping Queens game! Hopefully I'll get to play it there sometime :) We always enjoyed Bohnanza on our games nights with Alex and Kim. http://www.amazon.com/Rio-Grande-Games-RGG-155/dp/B00008URUS
