Sleeping Queens Deluxe
Every girl is a queen (we hope there will be no controversy regarding this statement). But before becoming queen, the young princess must successfully pass several tests, the most important of which is sleep. In all fairy tales, the princess sleeps and dreams, and the fairy-tale prince rushes towards her on a fast horse.
In the fairytale board game Sleeping Queens, several queens fell asleep at once in one castle.

Beautiful design, simple rules and exciting gameplay - what else is needed for a family evening...
Dragons and knights
Speaking of knights who do not allow princesses to pass, rattling their metal robes. Courageous adventurers clad in iron consider it their duty to destroy any creature that encroaches on the state treasury - be it a giant or a dragon. Brave princesses often keep them company and go to dangerous journey together with your lover.
In the fairytale board game Dragons and Knights, opponents must climb a mountain and snatch treasure from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon. Lots of cardboard items, excellent quality components, fun and laughter - can you climb a mountain while balancing on the very top of a pyramid of sofas, watering cans, swords and chests?! Winning a board game for girls will require balanced tactics.
Potion Gift Set
In addition to exciting adventures and afternoon naps, young princesses love to brew various magic potions that can turn a mischievous prince into a green toad or, conversely, turn a croaking creature into a stately young man.
When the young sorceress collects ingredients for her infusion, in the tall grass she may meet Nomes - small creatures with cute eyes and a difficult fate. “It’s rare that a Nome will survive until the middle of the day,” says the ancient Nome wisdom. The fact is that the village is constantly being destroyed by floods, and the population of nomes is reduced at the speed of light by various cataclysms. But the tiny creatures do not lose heart - there is no more optimistic creature in the world than nom!
The fabulous board game Noma will help you get acquainted with the life of the village and take an active part in it. You have to take command of a group of nomes and try to lead your charges (at least those who remain) to victory - this is a dynamic and fun game for all ages. And remember, “Nom” sounds proud!
Cheese castle
In addition to the village of nomes, Game Expert recommends visiting the no less dangerous and very beautiful Cheese Castle, in which brave little mice jump on rooftops, collect pieces of cheese and try to avoid treacherous traps. The board game for girls Cheese Castle can involve two to four players, each of whom will take control of four mice. Opponents will have to overcome an intricate path along the tiles of an ancient castle, remember the location of deep dungeons and collect a collection of cheeses faster than their opponents!
The board game for girls Cheese Castle perfectly develops spatial thinking, and the colorful components made in Germany will bring your child a lot of fun.
Baramelka
By the way, “cute” ghosts always live in ancient buildings, flying around the rooms in the darkness and lifting the spirits of the prim inhabitants of the “ancient” property. One of these ghosts is called Baramelka, and Game Expert strongly recommends that all girls and their parents meet her. The fact is that Baramelka loves to look in the mirror and, standing on the rug, comb her long hair brush, chatting about the latest fashion trends with a frog friend. And where there are ghosts, there is always magic and... funny confusion! Help Baramelka determine the correct colors of her things and do it faster than your opponents!
A fun and dynamic board game for girls, Baramelka, will not leave anyone indifferent. And if you add Drummer to the gaming table (two games can be combined with each other), then the neighbors will envy your fun and ask to come over for a game or two...
Lived once
The main storytellers, as you know, are cats. So in the board game Once upon a time, an ordinary cat-without-boots named Murzik will help you write stories. You never know who or what Murzik might see while moving along the path. Winter snowman or camel from hot countries? Maybe windmills? The meeting may be very unexpected!

Let's now look at animal world– after all, girls often dream of a pet that will chew furniture, chew slippers and sweep mother’s favorite vases onto the floor, making room for themselves to sleep at night. Isn't this wonderful?! The gaming expert suggests getting unusual pets that will bring your family no less joy.
Quadrics (Doggies and Pigs)
Quadrics are cute dogs and pigs, who, by the will of fate, took on a “square” appearance. Taking bags of popcorn in their paws and putting glasses on their noses, the quadrics walk around the square city and look for square neighbors similar to themselves. Color, number of paws, presence of glasses or a bag of popcorn - the main thing is that the fellow in the square life differs only in one of the above characteristics. In this case, the quadrics get to know each other and continue their walk together, looking for the next applicant for their company.

Circles
From square to round - one step. An alternative to Quadrics can be the no less extravagant Rounds, which regularly graze on the lawn near the farm. Unfortunately, the cheerful little animals found a hole in the fence and ran away wherever their round eyes were looking. It’s quite simple to catch a playful little player: throw two dice and look for a color match on an open card. The difficulty is that everyone wants to get a round one for personal use. Therefore, the first player to grab the figurine becomes the full owner of the round pet.

Opponents will have to compare animals and rank them in ascending order. “What’s so difficult about this?” - you ask.

But after a couple of mistakes, it is quite possible to calculate the animal card located on top of the individual deck. To win this exciting animal board game you will need good memory and a little luck, the gift of foresight is also welcome.
Meow maze

For children 6 years old, games are the main type of leisure time, and not always computer games: even classic board games are still suitable. Most often, such gifts are chosen by parents in order to diversify children's leisure. At the same time, many people completely forget that board games don’t just improve your mood - they are also useful as an excellent workout for the brain. If you want to give something to a 6-year-old child, then a board game will definitely be one of the best options. The only question is which of the most popular games to choose.
Benefit
If you still doubt that board games for children can have real benefits (besides lifting spirits and improving mood), then here are some examples of how an ordinary board game can have a positive effect on a child:
- Those adults who believe that children are simply having fun while playing are deeply mistaken. Absolutely any game is a simulation of a particular situation and, at a minimum, develops imagination. After all, everyone has noticed that children never play at themselves. Most often they find themselves in the place of one or another adult, less often in the place of fairy tales and other fictional characters. However, always in a situation in which they actually do not exist.
In other words, such a children's game replaces a typical adult conversation, when one asks the other what he would do in a given situation.
It turns out that any game has great importance– in many ways this is a modeling of the future, a kind of preparation for adult life.
This also applies to board games. They either give the child certain new knowledge that he may have never been interested in acquiring, or they force him to develop logic, strategic thinking, ingenuity - and even dexterity with speed of reaction.
Of course, at this age, games that are too complex and would provide real adult skills are not worth buying - their time will come later, in a few years. To prepare your child for such games, which are closer to the real life of adults, first buy him a simpler children's game.
- Harm from constant use of computers and other electronic devices is already obvious, but everyone has reached that stage of human development when it is almost impossible to abandon them completely. If in preschool age
Modern educational programs have already appreciated all the advantages of digital technologies and have long adopted them, so a student simply cannot do without a computer. In addition, the child will not spend the whole day at school, and his parents probably work, so now he has much more opportunities to play freely or surf the Internet.
If fifteen years ago the main danger from computers was considered to be a negative impact on the eyes, today the main problem lies on the psychological plane, since a person, once gone into the virtual world, almost never returns from it.
The method of strict prohibitions cannot solve the problem, because round-the-clock control over the child is impossible, and the forbidden fruit, due to its inaccessibility, seems even sweeter.
All that remains is to interest the child in something in the real world so much that he himself is ready to at will turn off the computer and go do something else. Board games remain one of the few truly interesting alternatives for children that can pull them away from screens.
- One more side effect developed information society is that people (by all accounts) are communicating less with each other.
However, they communicate, but instead of live communication, it now happens in the virtual world, which is interesting in its own way, but still a classic conversation is much better. If even those who were born much earlier than the digital era began to communicate less, then imagine how those children who have never known any other times are drawn into it. Almost any board game requires the participation of at least two players; it already (one way or another) helps to establish contact between them. Everyone knows that a true friend
much better than a pen pal, and you can make new acquaintances and loyal comrades through board games.
Such time spent with family can give positive results in establishing a family atmosphere. As you know, only those who do not communicate with each other will never understand each other, and a board game is an excellent reason to spend time together.
Varieties
- Brain teaser. By name they may seem quite boring, but many logic games for kids are really interesting and exciting. The effect is achieved through colorful design and a cleverly twisted plot. In some games you need to look for treasure or catch a criminal, in others other players are obvious opponents.
- Developing memory. Typically, games of this type are built on each subsequent player repeating the words spoken by the previous one and adding his own, making the task more and more difficult with each move. The options can be very different - even meaningless sounds imitating the conversation of cavemen, which looks as ridiculous as it is funny. In more complex versions, players not only repeat the sounds they hear, but are also forced to be distracted by various additional questions, which only makes memorization more difficult.
- Games to expand your vocabulary. At 6 years old, a child already speaks fluently and is able to express any of his thoughts, but this is too little to consider him a full-fledged native speaker. There are games that allow you to learn as many new words as possible in a fun way, and at the same time, the concepts that they mean. This usually looks like a task to think of a word with a certain letter or from a certain topic, so the child can learn a lot just by listening to other participants.
Even typical "walkers" where the player moves his piece along the game route from start to finish by rolling the dice. They help develop mental arithmetic. True, at the age of 6, children usually already think quite well, so now it’s more like just entertainment.
A unique classification of board games can be divided into options intended for boys and girls. There are many more boys' games, since boys traditionally have a more pronounced inclination and talent for competitive hobbies than girls. Take, for example, the themes of war, pirates or spies - all this is much closer to boys, this can be implemented in the form of a tabletop strategy.
As for girls, there are much fewer special games for them, and they are dedicated only to some adventures of princesses. However, you shouldn’t worry about this, since the vast majority of games are designed for both sexes. They are well suited both for a large group of children and for playing with the family.
Most popular games
The concept of the most popular game is very arbitrary, since no one can say with accuracy how many copies of which game were sold, and even more so in the context of purchases for children 6 years old. It should also be taken into account that each child of this age is already a bright individual; he may have tastes that are radically different from the preferences of the majority. Just in case, it’s still worth highlighting a few games that are very popular and therefore have a higher chance of being liked by your child:
- "Crocodile". This game can safely be called a classic - you, perhaps even your parents, have probably played it, just not in the board version, but in your imagination. The meaning then was that from the circle of children one would be chosen to show or explain, to whom someone else would guess a word or concept, and everyone else had to guess it.
The rules differed from company to company - in some places it was possible to speak without naming the word itself and words with the same root, in others the explainer answered only the leading questions of the guessers (with the words “yes” or “no”). In the third option, it was impossible to speak at all - I had to show with facial expressions and gestures. As a rule, the one who guessed became the pointer and received the task for himself.
Today this game has become a board game, and the rules there are also different, but the essence is approximately the same. Tasks in such a game are no longer invented by the players: they are indicated on cards, which, according to some rules, are drawn blindly, and according to others, according to a certain pattern. There are even competitive versions that involve division into teams, where each team must guess the maximum number of words in the minimum time.
- "My Zoo" We can say that this game is the same “Monopoly”, but the surroundings here are much closer to what kids might like. While throwing the dice, you need to walk around the playing field and buy animals. However, you not only need to buy them, but also remember to feed them, so in some ways the game is even a little more complicated than the classic Monopoly.
Of course, it is permissible to sell and buy animals not only according to what appears on the playing field, but also from each other; the same goes for food. If you don't pay attention to the animals, you can lose them, but in the end, the one who can collect the most interesting set of animals in his zoo will win.
- Adults versus children. One big downside to family-friendly quizzes is that, unsurprisingly, adults generally know a lot more than their children. The creators of this game have done everything possible to level out this difference - for this purpose, some of the questions have been selected in such a way that it is much easier to know the answer to them. easier for a child than an adult. In addition, it is not at all necessary to answer a question if you do not know what to answer, but you need to collect a series of seven correct answers in a row as quickly as possible.
- No matter how much you strive to develop certain skills of your baby, when choosing, focus on fun rather than benefit. It is adults who evaluate board games for children by what they are able to provide in practical terms, and children are absolutely indifferent to whether their logic and counting skills develop during the game. In their understanding, they are simply having a fun time.
- In any case, the genre direction of the game should be close to the future owner. Anyone who loves active games and a competitive spirit will certainly prefer a game where you need to be active, react, and achieve victory over your opponent in the end thanks not only to luck, but also to your own qualities. If the child is touchy or does not have much chance of winning, it is better to pay attention to those games that do not include winners and losers.
- Be careful - although most games are suitable for both boys and girls, there are also those that are interesting only to one gender. When choosing such a gift, you need to take into account not only the gender of the future owner of the game, but also the gender of his social circle. If this game is not suitable for someone in the group, the child will either abandon the game or show his worst side by ignoring his friend.
For this reason this game not only broadens horizons and allows children and adults to get to know each other better, but also has an element of risk and strategic planning. In addition, this is perhaps the only quiz-type game where even 6-year-old children can confidently compete with adults.
A wide range of board games is good because you can give your child a good dozen of them, never repeating them, and invariably delighting the child. However, for this you need to have excellent taste and clearly understand what exactly can please the future owner. To avoid making a mistake with your choice, follow a few simple tips:
In the modern world of computers and the Internet, board games have ceased to be very popular. Many parents do not attach importance to board games; they believe that there are enough educational programs for their children on the Internet. Of course, this is true, but board games are a special activity for the whole family.
Board games promote bonding and support family communication. Pace modern life so fast that it is not always possible to devote enough to your family. But you don’t need to have a degree in psychology to know how important it is for a child to communicate with his parents. Board games are a great way to spend time with your child, teaching him something new, developing or reinforcing the material he has learned.
It is necessary to choose board games for girls and boys taking into account their interests and age. The wide variety of these games allows you to choose an interesting activity for a child of any age and level of development. The right game will help your child master a skill, learn something new and have a fun time.
For a board game to be interesting to a child, it must correspond to his age, level of development and interests. If the game is too complicated and unclear, the baby will immediately lose interest in it. In addition, when buying such a game, it is worth remembering that you will have to play with your child. Playing games together brings parents and children together and helps them better understand each other.
An interesting and understandable board game for children aged two years and older would be games with cardboard cards or cubes that need to be connected in pairs according to some principle. At this age, simple puzzles consisting of 2-6 pieces are good board games for boys and girls.
Five-year-old children can be invited to play adventure games. Their essence is to travel along the game map with the goal of arriving at the finish line as quickly as possible.

Interesting games for younger schoolchildren are games using letters and logical thinking. At this age, a child can play scrabble, dominoes, backgammon, checkers, chess, lotto, etc.

Hello, Dear friends. It just so happens that we hardly discuss board games that children can play, but for many of us this can be extremely relevant and useful information. We won’t put our child in complex economic strategies or aggressive wargames with a bunch of small components, especially since all sorts of horror films, like, won’t do. Today I will try to correct the current trend a little and want to talk about board games for young children and their young parents.
10) Turtle Races
"Turtle Runs"- aka Ribbit is my personal favorite among board games to play with kids. The essence of the game is simple: with the help of cards we control the turtles, who run to the finish line along a path of 10 bricks. The main trick is that no one knows which turtle belongs to whom, except their own. The turtles run forward and backward, they can drag those who climbed on top of them, or ride on others. A very accessible and at the same time intelligent game that will be fun for adults to play too. Cool design, by the way. For 2-5 players, game time is 10-20 minutes.
9) Zooloretto
IN "Zooloretto" we are building a real zoo: you need to select and deliver animals, organize enclosures for them, attract visitors and do all this better than your competitors in the neighborhood. The game is quite easy to learn and does not require memorization large quantity nuances, and children will like cute animals. This board game is designed for 2-5 players and will take 30-60 minutes of your time per game. If desired, you can additionally take "Aquaretto"- the same thing, but about dolphins, polar bears, penguins and other waterfowl.
8) Dobble
Spot It or "Dobble" in Russia - one of the main hits among growing players. This is a simple game of attention with a set of 55 picture cards on which you have to look for matching objects. The most attentive and fastest one takes the card for himself, and the game ends when the deck of cards runs out. The rules are explained in a minute, the box takes up little space, and up to 8 people can play.
7) Blokus
Blokus- an abstract board game where you place colored figures on the board. The main condition is that your new figures come into contact with only the corners you have already laid out before. The winner is the one who leaves no available options for his opponent. Despite the simplicity of the rules, this game has sufficient depth to create unique combinations and will allow you to play more than one exciting game. For 1-4 players (can be played alone, like solitaire), the time of each game is up to 20 minutes.
6) Lost Cities
In a card game "Lost Cities" players will play the role of brave adventurers. The playing field consists of 5 exotic places where mysterious artifacts can be found. During their turn, players can place cards with values from 2 to 10 on any of these zones with the only restriction - the new card must be “older” than the one you have already laid out earlier. The one who collects a large amount will receive victory points, and the loser, on the contrary, will receive a fine. This logic game with simple mathematical calculations is played only by two people, the game time is 15-30 minutes.
5) Happy Farm
Board game "Happy Farm" can be called, without a grain of exaggeration, the pride of game making post-Soviet space. The development of Ukrainian designers was well received in their homeland and continues its successful march, including to the West. The mechanics of the game are not very complicated: we plant seeds, harvest crops, feed pets, sell surplus at the market, buy new seeds. The winner is the one who can raise the most well-fed and joyful animals. Pleasant design and simple gameplay will appeal to many children and their parents. The game is designed for 2-4 players, and each game takes 30-40 minutes.
4) Simply brilliant
"Simply brilliant" or Ingenious in the original - an abstract game, somewhat reminiscent of Dominoes. Players place chips on the playing field, each of which depicts figures of two of the six possible colors. Points are earned by laying out the longest lines of the same color, but victory is awarded to the one who scores the most points in the worst color. A game of attentiveness and strategy. You can play alone or with four, or with the whole family. Party time is up to 40 minutes.
3)Hive
Sometimes called "Hive", probably closest to checkers, but there is no field here. Each player is given 11 hexagonal insect figures, each of which has its own special properties. The task is to surround someone else’s queen with your insects and, accordingly, protect your own. This game is easy to learn to play, but not so easy to start winning, like most abstract games. The excellent quality of the components and a certain theme make them stand out. Hive against the backdrop of other abstract board games. IN "Hive" You can play only together, the game time is 15-20 minutes.
2) Carcassonne
"Carcassonne" is one of the most popular games in the world. Players will have to build medieval castles, monasteries and roads by placing square tokens on the table and placing their wooden settlers on them. You can find out more about the gameplay in our video review. Despite all the apparent simplicity "Carcassonne" There are real world championships, so here you will need not only luck, but also skill. This is an excellent option for beginner players; I myself started playing modern board games with "Carcassonne". This board game is designed for 2-5 players and plays in 30-40 minutes. Some may prefer this option "Carcassonne. Hunters and Gatherers", where instead of the Middle Ages, players go to the prehistoric era to fish and hunt wild animals.
1) Ticket to Ride
Better known in the Russian-speaking environment as "Ticket to Ride" is probably the best strategic board game for a pleasant pastime with family or close friends, and it can be of interest to both children and the older generation represented by grandparents. The players' task is to build their routes from different cities, while typing maximum amount victory points. To create a route, you need to play a certain number of carriage cards of the same color from your hand. There are almost no conflict situations in this game, there is no text on the components, but only color pictures with trailers and a large color map (personally, I like the version with Europe most of all, there is also Russia there, and the rules are more flexible than the original about the USA). That said, there is plenty of depth to this game that keeps things interesting for a long time thanks to the variety of routes and small additions that are easily accessible. Ticket to Ride designed for 2-5 (preferably 3-5) players, each game takes about an hour.
