Great list! I used to run a volunteer board game group with 5th-6th grade students, so I played A LOT of games with kids, not to mention a bunch with my own. Camel Up was always huge hit, as were the following: Crossing - The number one game by a fair margin - fun for adults and like catnip for kids. Simple rules, shiny gems, deal-making, and double-crossing - all in a 10 minute game. And then in no particular order: Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza Toc Toc Woodman Sushi Go Celestia Pass The Pigs Ghost Blitz Rhino Hero Zeus on the Loose Werewords Battle Sheep New York Slice Just Desserts Quarto Diamant Love Letter
Oh my goodness! I've never seen most of these games in Australia and they are so fun looking! My kids and I love playing Shark Bite. You feed the shark the amount of fish you roll and hope the shark toy doesn't pop up and eat your fishing rod. It's so funny.
