Have you tried card games?

Trouble and Life are two board games that come to mind.

Uno is a favorite of out family.

Life, Trouble, Sorry are great classic games. Apples to Apples and Scattergories are a lot of fun, especially when you have company.

Risk. What better way to bond than crushing your family?

One quick game we love is nowhere to go. Its VERY fast paced and great for littler kids because they dont get bored. Imagine chess when you are down to like 4 pieces left. Its only a handful of moves before checkmate.

(It says educational and we bought it at the united arts and education store, but Im not sure what its teaching, unless they consider chess educational too)

Also in card games, we really like Skip-bo.

Oh, and pretty much ANY Cranium brand game is good. We havent found a bad one yet. Cranium and Zigity we play a lot.

Monopoly Deal (card-game version of monopoly) has become a favorite of ours. It's family friendly, each game takes about 15-30 minutes usually, and it still involves a great deal of strategy.

With a 12YO? Probably not for a few more years.

We just finished a game of Telestrations tonite. I havent played a single round where somebody didnt end up laughing hysterically. (tonight included, when my son drew "cold feet" and Mom got "fuzzy slippers" from it. LOL )

Scrabble and the card game "nuts" were our family go too games.

Cribbage, three tracks. You can play for small change to make it more interesting.
