One of the best bonding activities between families is playing a traditional board game. The rules are easy, it encourages participation and it doesn’t require staring at an electronic screen.
While times have changed, there’s no rule saying that you can play all these classic board games you grew up with and share them with family and close friends. So gather everyone up, download these apps and get ready to play!
Pictionary
An oldie but goodie that translates very well to mobile phones. With the digitized version, you can choose from hundreds of thousands of pictures to portray and several game modes for better variety.
The object of the game is simple- draw what’s showing on the card and your teammates have to guess what it is within a time limit. Guess it right and your team gets a point. The team with the most points win.
Scrabble
Scrabble also gets a digital form with several variations such as Words with Friends. The original version is also available to download on both iOS and Android platforms. In this case, bigger is probably better so you can ‘see’ the board in its entirety.
