Family play with children

If you have children, you can’t buy just any game thinking that it will be enough to spend quality time with them. Indeed, some are reserved for a specific age group, and for a very simple reason: they require rather advanced intelligence and mental capacities, which young toddlers have not necessarily yet developed. In these cases, you might as well turn to the great classics, which will be suitable for children.

The Uno

To play Uno, you need at least two players, but the more the better. Each player is dealt 7 cards, and the remainder is placed face down in the middle of the table. Turn the first one over and place it next to it, this is the game pile. You must place a card corresponding to the number, color or similar type of the one placed just before.
