Family games tend to be shorter (30-60 minutes), with shorter rule books, and fun friendly graphics. They also tend toward simpler gameplay than the enjoyable but more daunting Strategy games. Don't let Strategy Games scare you though: If your kids are 12 or older, you may find even more games to enjoy in the Strategy Games section.
