Board Game Xbox

what are some good board games or card games I can play with my sons (12 and 14) to keep them away from xbox?

my boys are consumed with video games, its all they do for hours and I want to interact with them. someone said play board games or cards, any suggestions???

Some good suggestions here.

One that hasn't been mentioned is a game called "Set"... it's a thinking game that's pretty cool...

You can read about it at:

http://www.setgame.com/set/

The same company also puts out other games as well, word games, letter games, etc.

Quiddler

Five Crowns

Jurassic Jumble

Xactika

We already have "Set" and we just found Five Crowns and Quiddler in a store the other day, but haven't tried them yet.

Set is a game of matching colors, shapes, patterns and numbers, and it requires thought, which is a good thing.

When you go to that Set Game site, you can click on the links to the other games as well, at the left of the screen.

Wikipedia has an entry on "Set", and there's also a computer version.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_(game)

Set is fun, and once you understand what constitutes a "Set", it then becomes a race to see who can spot a set first when the cards are laid out.

Have fun!
