a good board game. With the holiday season approaching, I alway look for the newest and lastest board games. Any suggestions?

If you have kids, the Dragonology game is fun. I get addicted to Mancala, but that's a two-player only game. Most of the other games I enjoy are card games, not board games... but I have a couple suggestions there, if you'd like. Killer Bunnies is a lot of fun, and so is Apples to Apples. With both of these, the more people you can get to play, the better.

We have Dragonology and Apples to Apples.
I really do like a good round of Apples to Apples.

Some of the new Clue games are very good also if you like mysteries.

So what are those two about and how about ages??

I am now in charge of entertaining not only my 12 year old, but have a 6 y/o to look after.

Dragonology, recommended for ages 8 and up. "Who will be the Master Dragonologist? Based on the NY Times best-selling title, Dragonology, players will travel the world by air, land and sea, gathering knowledge of nine different species of dragons, using ancient spells and dragon charms in their pursuit. With the same authentic look and feel as the book, the game includes a map game board, exquisitely detailed 3-dimensional sculpted dragon and dragonologist pieces and much more."

Apples to Apples, recommended for ages 12 and up. "Apples to Apples is the wild, award-winning card and party game that provides instant fun for four to ten players! It’s as easy as “comparing apples to apples”…just open the box, deal the cards, and you’re ready to play! Select the card from your hand that you think is best described by a card played by the judge. If the judge picks your card, you win that round. And everyone gets a chance to be the judge! Each round is filled with surprising and outrageous comparisons from a wide range of people, places, things, and events. Fast moving and refreshing, Apples to Apples is perfect for any get-together with family and friends!"

There is a Sponge Bob version of the Game of Life that is rated 7 and up.
We play it with a wide range of ages and everybody seems to love it, especially
fans of the show. However not being a fan of the show does not take away the fun
of the original version.
