While some card deck games deserve to be branded as unsafe for children, many are also suited for both kids and adults. These games are fun and offer a wholesome bonding activity for everyone. While online versions like those available in Anytime Games exist, kids love actual cards with fun colors and images on them.
The good thing about a card game is you can put it in a tote bag and pull it out whenever you have free time. It can come in handy while on a vacation, visiting your parents, or at home on a lazy Sunday afternoon. They’re also simple to play: most like Rat-a-Tat Cat and Slamwich don’t have intricate rules. There’s typically no board or game pieces to deal with, so young players can learn them in no time.
Here are our top card games for families with kids:
Uno is one of the most popular game cards so we expect that you have played it before. We’re confident that you can quickly learn to play this game since it only entails matching numbers and colors. The first player to take out all of his cards wins.
There are several versions of Uno; each has its own playing rules that can be used with a conventional deck. We enjoy Speed Uno, which allows you to play a card out of turn in an exact number and color. The game then continues from there.
Uno should be a part of your family bonding moment. It can be played by 2-10 people. Suitable for young players 8 years old and above.
Because of its popularity, we assume that you already have Apples to Apples on your game shelf. If not yet, go get one right away. It’s a terrific game that is more fun when played by a large group.
This is how it’s played: the judge takes a green card with a word on it. The rest will choose a card they believe is similar to the word on the card held by the judge. They need to place it face down. The judge then takes the played cards and chooses which card he believes is identical to his card, at which time the person who owns that card receives a point. This game is similar to the adult version, but the texts on the cards are considerably easier for children to understand.
Apples to Apples can be played by 2-10 players. Suitable for young players 9 years old and above.
SkipBo is on our list because it is simple to learn and play for both adults and children. The game’s goal is to be the first player to get rid of all your cards, much like other family card games. It requires more planning than other games because you will have several stacks that you need to line up with your cards before playing the middle deck.
SkipBo is a straightforward game because the cards are stacked sequentially from low to high. You have to play several cards in succession and then turn them to your next card to see if they match your available cards.
SkipBo can be played by 2-6 players, 8 years old and above.
Dominion is probably one of the most (if not the most) costly card games today. The price tag can be attributed to its size, which is as big as a cardboard game. Despite the price, we still recommend this game for many reasons.
If you haven’t tried it yet, we strongly advise you to try it. It provides a one-of-a-kind gaming experience for your entire family. Due to its phenomenal success, a plethora of other games with similar mechanics have been created. Also, Dominion can be very addictive. You need to limit your kids’ playing time and schedule if you don’t want to see them play this game every time.
Play Dominion with 2-6 players, including kids 8 years old and above, and everyone will have a great time.
The goal of this game is to finish all stages of the game first. In each stage, you play cards in a specific order, such as sets and runs. After you finish a stage’s requirement within a round, you’ll go to the next phase.
However, if someone completes all of the cards he has before you finish the phase, you’ll have to try again in the next round. The only caution on this game is it may take a while to finish. Players can take a pause, grab something to eat, and return later.
Phase 10 is suitable for 2-6 players aged 8 years old and above.
We consider Racko an excellent card game for the whole family. It’s easy to learn, suited for all age groups, a combination of chance and strategy, and needs a lot of player interaction. Our favourite part about this game is the player interaction. Something is satisfying in rearranging your opponent’s card sequence. Of course, retaliation is fair, which means you have to prepare for your opponents to strike.
Racko is suitable for 2-4 players aged 8 years old and above.
Go Fish is created with the younger members of your family in mind. Go Fish has simple rules in which players will be guessing what cards their opponents have. Go Fish cards have various images to choose from, like animals, alphabets, characters, trees, and so on. The look on your kid’s face when they say “go fish” and see their card is priceless.
Do you have kids aged 4+? They will surely love this game.
Have you chosen the next card game you will play with your kids at your camp out this summer? We’re pretty sure that they will love any of the games listed above.
