One Amazon reviewer said it is “very good for a first board game.” They added that “it is fun and colorful and helps to teach them how to be patient and take turns as well as how to have fun, even if you don’t finish first.”
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
Need a last-minute stocking stuffer idea? Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza is it. This simple yet fast-paced card game can accommodate up to eight people. Players will race against each other to slap a match between a spoken word and a card, but three action cards will pop up and surprise you along the way. “Kids love this game,” one shopper said. “I feel like I need protective handwear to play because my kids take it so seriously.”
Monopoly: Wicked Edition Board Game
For the Wicked-obsessed, there’s now an Oz-themed version of the classic Monopoly game — and this game is gorgeous. Move gold tokens around the board to purchase properties from the land of Oz using munchkin homes and emerald castles, collecting Ozian coins along the way.
Clue: Wizarding World Harry Potter Edition Board Game
The classic game of Clue has been given a Wizarding World twist. Move around the board to solve the head-scratching whodunit as Harry, Ron, Hermione, and other iconic characters, while revealing secret passages, changing staircases, and more along the way. This one may be a bit complicated for younger players, so grab this for older Harry Potter fans.
