When looking for something “unplugged” to do, either for yourself, or with your family, what do you hope to get out of the experience? Are you only looking for something that is fun and enjoyable or are you hoping to do something that is educational so you can learn something from the experience. Either option is a good one but an activity that does both is even better. Board games can often do just that if you pick the right ones.
One of the best board games that is educational and fun for adults and older kids the Ticket to Ride Board Game. It is a cross country adventure game that teaches geography in an entertaining way. There is a North American version and European version. You collect train cards to complete train routes and connect cities. The longer the routes the more points you earn and you get points by making city to city connections. The winner is the player who has accumulated the most points.
It doesn’t take hours to play like some games, it has won many awards, and it has received rave reviews from children AND adults. If you need more challenges you can buy expansions packs to add even more adventure and functionality and you can also buy a different version to explore new areas of the world.
This game is especially loved by homeschooling families for its prowess in teaching while still being fun. If you are looking for TV free activities then check out Ticket to Ride.

Definitely an excellent game! We like the fact that it can be played fairly quickly (as opposed to many excellent games which take considerably longer to play) and that it can be played simply or a bit more ruthlessly.
