How we chose these games
Selections work well with mixed ages and larger family groups. Family-specific activities use only information people are comfortable sharing and pair well with general group games.
How to choose the right game
Reunions work best when games help different branches of the family mix. Use names, stories and photos only with permission and avoid turning family knowledge into a test people can fail.
Use the game cards below to compare player counts, age guidance, time, materials and location. Open any game for complete setup, rules, variations and safety notes.
Make the first round easier
Explain the objective first, demonstrate one turn when useful, and keep the first round short. If the group enjoys it, use the variations on the individual game page to increase difficulty, add teams or change the pace.
