For leisurely and experienced players

A collection of games for grandparents

Board games are entertainment that we never grow out of! Games are no longer just for children, and they can be a very thoughtful and great gift for our grandparents too! What games would be suitable for the older members of the family?

Word games

Not all grandparents are gaming fans who spend their free time collecting Catan points, building ancient civilizations, or exploring mysterious dungeons in one of the campaign board games. However, that doesn't mean they aren't ready to play a game with the family.

“Just One” is a great board game that can be played together by children, parents and grandparents! It is a cooperative game in which one of the players will be the leader. All players except the leader see a word that needs to be explained using only one word. All players write the association of one word on special boards and then compare their answers, erasing all associations that are repeated. The unique words are shown to the leader, who now has one chance to guess what word has been explained. A very simple game that will be fun to play at any age!

Who doesn't know the game "Scrabble" these days? This word-building classic is also suitable for leisurely and experienced players.

Classic games with a modern twist

Almost every grandparent has played a game of chess , checkers, or dominoes at least once in their life. All of these well-known classics are still popular today, but similar games with a modern twist are also available.

Triple dominoes, or “Trimino,” replace the classic domino squares with triangles, which turns the well-known game on its head by 60 degrees!

“Onitama” is a modern form of chess, where the goal of the game is to kill the opponent’s sensei, or to take the opponent’s throne with your sensei. However, in this game you don’t have to remember how each of the pieces moves. Our movement options are determined by 5 randomly drawn cards, which will be different each time. Each player is dealt two of the cards and the remaining one is placed on the side of the field. The player can move any of his pieces, according to the instructions on the card. As soon as the move is made, that card is exchanged for the one on the side of the field and will soon be at the disposal of the opponent. Plan not only your moves, but also which of the cards not to give to the opponent!

Gigamic's abstract two-player games, such as Quoridor, will also be suitable for both small and large strategists who want a game where planning is more important than luck.

Abstract mind sharpeners

Fast, fun, and easy to learn, Ubongo will test not only your brainpower but also your sharpness. Players will race against time and each other to solve mind-bending puzzles with various shapes to connect.

In “Ubongo” everyone plays at the same time. Each person places a task and several game tiles in front of them and tries to complete their task as quickly as possible with the tiles available to them.

If strategic tetra placement sounds interesting, but you don't want time pressure from other players, then "Katamino" is the right choice! A brain teaser with more than 100 tasks, in which you have to arrange the figures on the allotted playing field.

Puzzles

For relaxing mornings, afternoons or evenings, one of our puzzles will be perfect. Our stores have hundreds of different puzzles available, so you can find the one that suits you best!
