Top games for 8 year olds
Have you ever wished there was a big list of all the best games for 8 year olds?
Of course you have!
Well, this is it, my friends… The day has arrived.
For each game in the list below, our score takes into account 4 things:
- Its Geek rating on the BoardGameGeek website
- Its parent percentage – that is, what percentage of parents think the game is playable at this age
- The views of our media partners about its suitability for different ages
- Any user ratings on our site
Add a bit of secret sauce and there you have it! A top 100 list primed and ready to show you the best games for your kids. And your friends’ kids. And their friends kids…
Behold, the key to the table!
Note that a game will only appear on this list if the parent percentage is greater than 0%, which is to say that at least one parent thinks it’s playable at this age.
