With back-to-school around the corner I am already thinking of ways to help the family decompress and relax together. A few months ago we started to play board games and now I find we all look forward to our time together. Full disclosure some of us have big trouble following the rules and other just straight up cheat but its the memories and laughter that keep us coming back.

Thanks to our friends as Asmodee we now have four more games to add to our weekly game nights. One of you can also win 2 games of your choice so make sure you enter at the end of this post.

Time to get into the Back-to-School Spirit!

Ticket to Ride, First Journey: (MSRP:$49.99, 2-4 Players, Ages: 10+) Ticket to Ride: First Journey Europe takes the gameplay of the Ticket to Ride series and scales it down for a younger audience. In general, players collect train cards, claim routes on the map, and try to connect the cities shown on their tickets. In more detail, the game board shows a map of Europe with certain cities being connected by colored paths. Each player starts with four colored train cards in hand and two tickets;
each ticket shows two cities, and you’re trying to connect those two cities with a contiguous path of your trains in order to complete the ticket. Get yours from Amazon.ca here.

Concept Kids Animals: (MSRP:$44.99, 2-4 Players, Ages: 4+) Concept Kids Animals is a cooperative version of the game Concept, adapted for kids who don’t yet know how to read. In turn, the children attempt to make the others guess an animal by playing pawns on the icons on the game board. Concept Kids Animals offers 110 animals to be guessed. This communication game for children will allow them to discover the world of animals in a fun and innovative way. You can get yours off of Amazon.ca here.

Braintopia: (MSRP:$20.99, 2-6 Players, Ages: 6+) Braintopia Kids is a fast-paced brain bender that tests your mental focus, flexibility, and speed, but geared toward younger players. Composed of eight different types of challenges, players attempt to solve the puzzles faster than their opponents. Get yours off of Amazon.ca here.

Dixit Odyssey: (MSRP:$49.99, 3-12 Players, Ages: 8+) Dixit is a classic, simple, lighthearted game of storytelling and guesswork where your imagination unlocks the tale. Each round, cards are revealed. Their connection: one enigmatic sentence. Be careful! Only one picture represents the correct answer, the others are decoys. To find the correct image, let your imagination be your guide. Get yours on Amazon.ca here.
