So Clover is a cooperative word-association game for 3 to 6 players. I love word games so I was pretty sure I would like this game but I wasn't sure how well it would go over with my family.

Quixo is a two-person strategy game with a tic-tac-toe premise. It can also be played with four player in two teams.

I'm a huge proponent of off-screen activities for road trips. It's hard to create family memories if everyone's focus is on their individual screens. For that reason, I'm always on the lookout for fun travel games and activity books. IQ Circuit is one such game I received for review from Timberdoodle.

Kulami is more of a challenge than checkers but not as complicated as chess, which hits a sweet spot for us. It only takes about 20 minutes to play...

Like other Smart Games, Zig Zag Puzzler is a single-player thinking game. This one focuses on spatial insight, problem solving, and planning.

The Walls and Warriors challenges are definitely suitable for adult brains as well as kids'! The recommendation is ages 8 to adult. This would be another good one for senior citizens for daily brain exercises.

Marble Circuit would make a unique gift for older kids, teens, or even adults. It would be a fun gift for an older person who likes to keep their mind sharp.
