8 Ways to Bond

by Lou Harry

One of the best ways to connect with kids is through board and card games. And while only a very limited number of new games find their way to the shelves of big-box retailers, that doesn't there aren't a lot of fun, innovative and very playable games out there. You just have to know where to look.

I set out to find a batch of new games that are enjoyable for both kids and adults. There's a degree of skill involved, but enough luck involved that everyone still has a chance.
