Best Pick Up & Play

With easy-to-learn gameplay that drops you right into the fun, these games were there for us whenever we were ready to play. They helped us pack as much joy as possible into any spare moments throughout our day – we simply couldn’t put them down.

Monopoly GO had us gripped this year and was full of colorful, cheeky fun from the get-GO. This adaptation is fast-paced and simple to learn – becoming a building mogul is as easy as tapping a button. Within seconds, you’ll be watching your silver token hop jauntily around the board.

When you’re not building up your property portfolio, you might get to attack opponents or steal their earnings in a bank heist. Don’t worry if you’re on the receiving end, it’s easy to build your wealth back up – no board flipping necessary. We couldn’t get enough of this nostalgic and exuberant reinterpretation that provided quick wins and small bursts of fun throughout our day.
