When families sit down around classic board games, they can all enjoy playing together, no matter what the ages of the children are. Lately some of the more well-known games have been getting a much needed redo!

Scrabble Flash: The game of Scrabble is easy – simply take letter tiles and make words, and you earn points by putting the right tiles on the right parts of the board. The game got a technological redo in the last few years and Scrabble Flash Cubes is a whole new way to play your favorite game! Instead of having to play with a number of tiles, you only play with five. Letters pop up on the electronic tiles and you push them together to make words! All legal words are recognized and, best of all, you can also play the game not only with friends but by yourself as well! |

Monopoly Electronic Banking: There’s nothing more fun than a good game of Monopoly, but even aficionados of the game will tell you that it can get extremely frustrating to have to deal with all of the cash that you can earn in the game. But Monopoly Electronic Banking makes it much easier, and more enjoyable, to play the game! With this version of the classic game, players use bank cards to keep track of the money that they’re earning, and the money that they’re spending when they aren’t able to pass go and collect money. |

Sorry Sliders: People who grew up in the ‘80s clearly remember one of the best toys as being a game where they had to yell out “Sorry”! The popular game, however, has gotten a makeover with Sorry Sliders. This version of the well-known entertainment looks completely different from the old one, and it’s a game that can be played for either a long amount of time, or a short amount of time. Players once again get pawns, but this time they need to slide their pawn to the home, or they need to get their opponents’ pawns off the board! It can be played with four players and has a few different ways to play. |

Connect 4 Launchers: Did you know that even celebrities have become addicted to Connect 4? The game is simple, yet takes a great deal of strategy to play and to win. But the new version of the game, Connect 4 Launchers, gives the game a whole new level of madness! Connect 4 Launchers has players going head-to-head in a horizontal game that is a bit strategy, a bit skill, and a bit luck. Players launch their checkers through the air in order to get three in a row. Or you can play Frantic Launch and try to be the first to get five points to win! |

Candy Land Castle: They say that children who learn things young, and learn to enjoy learning, hold a lifelong love of learning, which helps them as they grow older and move into the rhythm of school life. But children also learn best by playing, and Candy Land Castle is a new way for children to be able to play the game while learning at the same time. Children pull the lever to get shapes. They’re trying to match the shapes to their card. They learn shapes, colors, and how to be a patient game player as well! |

Yahtzee Flash: Playing Yahtzee is always something that people enjoy, but everyone deals with losing dice occasionally, or forgetting what numbers they’ve rolled. But with the new Yahtzee Flash, that’s something that you never have to worry about. This unique electronic take on the game allows players to play in four different ways: poker, max, flash, and wild. You can play with friends or, best of all, you can play by yourself, making this a game that you can play no matter if you’re with others or not. And because it comes in a nice durable case, it’s easy to take along with you wherever you go. |

Monopoly City: What is it that makes playing Monopoly so much fun? Maybe the fact that you can become a real estate mogul even if you’ve never gone to business school and have never learned how to sell real estate. With Monopoly City, players can play an updated version of the classic board games that they loved by dealing with new prices and 3D buildings! And instead of deeds, players acquire permits for the zones that they’re looking to build in, and they can even hold auctions for their properties thanks to the electronic trading unit that comes with the toy. |
 |
Uno Attack: There’s just something about Uno that is simply too appealing to too many different types of people. It’s a game that everyone can learn and that almost everyone can play easily, but after awhile it, like any game, can get stale. With Uno Attack, however, the staleness simply disappears! This version of the classic card game directs players to push the Attack button at certain times during the game. Those who are lucky will not have to deal with anything. Those who aren’t will have to deal with lots of cards flying straight at them from the machine! |

Electronic Battleship Advanced Mission: The phrase “I just sunk your Battleship” is something that anyone who has played on this very unique type of game knows very well, but Hasbro decided to redo their well-known fun time activity by creating Electronic Battleship Advanced Mission. This sea duel is a bit different than your classic one, starting with the fact that it’s electronic. It also has a unique laptop design and has all sorts of new weapons, such as search planes and radar. It also allows children to play with someone else or even on their own and against the computer! |
 |
Star Wars R2D2 Operation: One of the more fun things to play around with when you’re a child is Operation. In this unique item, children pull cards that tell them which body part they have to remove from the character on the board. With the Star Wars R2D2 Operation, however, fans of the Star Wars series can enjoy playing the game while also taking apart the funny and iconic robot. Children can remove parts from R2D2 and can earn play money while doing it, inspiring hours of pretend play and fun play time with others. |

Life 50th Anniversary Edition: The game of Life is a great way for children to pretend to be their parents and to have fun while doing it. The Life 50th Anniversary Edition is a retake on the older version and updates it in a few different ways. It has gold pieces, special coins, and brings all sorts of new problems, like lawsuits! This version also has more squares and has a wheel to spin as well, and you can even look forward to getting a job raise. With a new look, but the same fun play, even parents will find themselves having to get in on the fun. |
It’s always fun to sit down with your children to play classic board games, and these updated versions will not only bring even more enjoyment to your house, but will bring hours of new play time as well!
