Uno is a classic card game with simple rules. The concept is fast and everyone can have fun! Players play from a 52-card deck containing no jokers, ranked according to number (ace singleton) and color (red orange green blue violet). On one turn, the player takes all of her/her cards from their pile and tosses up any number of them that are spot for spot sequential in rank; face down so only they know what they’re playing.

We LOVE Cobra Paw, this game can be played by just about anyone of any age, the box is a little overkill so we pop it in a little bag so can easily be taken about with you and you can even play it in a restaurant while you wait for your meal.

Each card has a white answer on one side and an action on the other side, so every round will include two answers from players' stacks that are read aloud by everyone else.
Scattergories is a great word game that’s designed to get your creative juices flowing. It’s for two or more people and the goal is to come up with words that fit in one of the categories on cards. You can use any letter tile, but be careful—you may need it later! The person who has the most points adjudicates so competitors have an honest chance. Once you know how to play Scattergories, there are no limits! That means when you run out of categories, start making some up yourself; and once someone guesses correctly on what

Bananagrams - This word game is played by connecting letters into words and then using those words to create sentences, stories, or other phrases
Bananagrams is an award-winning word game that can be played solo, against friends or family members, and in teams. The game consists of 108 banana-shaped letter tiles (yellow, purple, green and red) organized into eight draw stacks.

In this card game you build settlements and roads to peacefully expand your realm. You get trading resources with opponents to acquire useful cards for new expansions, which require varied resources. The active player can also purchase development cards that confer benefits – like the robber who steals from their neighbors while they are away or victory points cards that give them a strong lead in counting up at the end of the game. Settlers of Catan is not about fighting over territories by might but rather through diplomacy and trading skills - only then will you progress from beginner settlers up to citizens, knights, even lords!
