When I was a kid, my parents loved board games. We had a lot of them. Sometimes when I was bored, I’d get one out and play against myself. (Please say I’m not the only one who did that…)

Naturally, I have a ton of board games for my kids also. But – if you haven’t noticed – board games have gotten pretty expensive! If you’re trying to find a new board game for family game night, you might have a hard time finding one that won’t break the bank.

So, I thought I’d share a list of fun family games that all cost less than 20 bucks a pop! Many of these are favorites of our kids (and some are even ones I loved as a child), so you’re sure to find a new family game night classic!

Why not turn your family game night into a tournament? You can play one game, then the winners play a different game, and so on until you crown the ultimate family game night champion!
