One quick point of clarification: I really should be saying my top 20 most *recommended* board games for the family... or maybe my favorite board games to recommend to families? (These are also all great “gateway” games, too… games that help to bring non-gamers into our hobby!) The ones at the top of the list are some of the most popular family games out there and the ones that I think most families would enjoy. But don't worry about the ranking too much either; even that was a little arbitrary at times! Every family is different and prefers different kinds of games, naturally!
If you are curious at all, my personal top 5 ranking for these games in order of how much I'd want to play them right now would be: Stone Age, Azul: Summer Pavilion, The Quacks of Quedlinburg, Downforce or Camel Up, then Splendor (with the expansion)!
Let me know if I missed any games in my list or ask me any questions you have about any of the games I mentioned in the comments below!
