I loved board games and cards when I was younger but we haven't really played much as a family yet.  I guess it's probably time to pull them out!

My kids love to play Mexican Train.  It's Dominos, so not sure if it's really a board game, but you have to buy a set for it.  They also like Stratego.

My kids are young, so they love Candy Land hands down. We also play some newer games like Sequence and Hiss. I personally love the latter, in a pile is cards that have different pieces of colored snakes on them (heads, belly, tail). You take turns pulling cards and building the snake by matching the colors. You build the snakes together, but whoever finishes it keeps it in their pile.

We love playing board games!  our favorites are Monopoly, Candy Land, and Operation.

I like Operation. Wonder whatever happened to Mousetrap?

We do board games, but they like Hungry Hungry Hippos and Twister more. Probably because they are young and the games are active. In the summer when we go to the beach with our friends, we always play the card game Phase 10. The older kids play with us sometimes. Hours of fun.

We love Apples to Apples, Uno and Whoonu.

Apples to Apples is a good one!  Uno was one of my favorites as a kid.  My grandparents taught me to play.

We play a lot of card games as well.  One of their favorites is Golf.
