Hello all. With the evenings drawing in, I've been digging out some board games to play with the family, but I need ones that are easy on the eyes and hands given my mobility bits. What's your go-to games that everyone can enjoy without too much fiddling? Monopoly with big pieces or something like Ticket to Ride? Share your faves and why – could make for some fun recommendations!🤗🤗🤗

    Hi @BaldingGeordie, welcome to the community. What ages are your family?

    RNIB sell some large-print versions of Scrabble and Boggle if you like word games: https://shop.rnib.org.uk/collections/board-games

    How are you with handling cards? If your family like silly games, I like the company Exploding Kittens. They have some good ones that might work, but they're not specifically made with accessibility in mind. There's a family friendly section on their website: https://www.explodingkittens.com/collections/family-friendly

    I hope the community will have some ideas, but hopefully that gets you started ☺️

    I quite like Sushi Go - a card game that you can play with two or up to five people, it is suitable for all ages, and not very expensive. There is also an free online version if you want to try it first: https://en.boardgamearena.com/

    I’m visually impaired so I need board games that are either brailled or easy to do without. My favourites are quizzes, but I also have a set of braille cards and a set of dominos. I have uno as well but we haven’t played this yet (hoping to over christmas).
