3. Monopoly

Monopoly is one of the ultimate family games to play. This entertaining board game is all about buying properties, building houses and hotels, and for the unlucky ones, paying rent and fees as you fight for control of the city’s streets and services trying to amass as much money as you can and basically bankrupting your opponents. The objective of this game is to become the wealthiest on the board by the end.

To start, players choose a game piece and roll the dice to move around the board. You can start buying properties you land on, and charge others rent for landing on your properties. You may even go to jail if you land on the wrong spot.

Filled with surprises, players must use strategy and negotiation skills to truly succeed in this game. Monopoly is easy to learn but can take hours to finish, which is perfect for those long evenings indoors with the family.
