Board Games Girls Actually Enjoy
Board games have long been a staple of my family’s bonding experience. Our girls preferences range from games full of strategy and teamwork to games of creativity and imagination. If you’re looking for board game ideas that are sure to be a hit, here are some favorites that our girls enjoy, offering entertainment, learning, and social interaction for all involved.
Nancy Drew Mysteries Game
Our girls are huge fans of the Nancy Drew books. And the movies. And the computer games. So naturally we had to give the board game a try too. It turns out to be quite a hit.
It’s a bit like Clue, and they love that game as well. However, there’s a lot more going on in this game. It’s less about making accusations and more about deductive reasoning. Basically, players go through a process of elimination.
Players have more choices and actions based on where they land or what cards they draw. So it feels more action packed than Clue, which can lag at times.
We weren’t expecting much after opening it and reading the rules. However, it turned out to be a lot more fun than we anticipated. We found creative ways to eliminate suspects and hinder others efforts.
The game went faster than games of Clue. All in all it’s found a regular spot in our game nights because it turned out to be so much fun.
Alice in Wonderland Mad Tea Party game
Another board game which wound up being more fun than we anticipated is Alice in Wonderland Mad Tea Party. This game involves balancing tea cups on a wobbly table.
It’s a bit like Jenga for kids. Players draw cards and perform the task required. Which involves selecting a tea cup and balancing in a specific spot. Eventually, the stack of tea cups falls and the game is over.
It’s definitely one we all enjoy. Placing tea cups can be nerve wracking but watching the whole stack come tumbling down brings out many laughs. I guess everyone enjoys making a pretend mess.
Clue Escape Room
This game takes Clue to another level. It appeals to the detective in everyone. We pieced together Clues to eliminate suspects, reveal the weapon, and ultimately solve the mystery.
We played it as a co-op game and enjoyed it immensely. There’s something about working together as a team that really appealed to our girls. Teamwork can turn out badly in some circumstances. But when playing with friends or family it usually turn out to be a great experience.
Even though everyone gets a turn, we generally worked together to figure out everything. Clue Escape Room is perfect for mystery lovers everywhere.
Summary
Whether they love strategy, storytelling, mystery, or teamwork, girls of all ages enjoy a wide variety of board games. These games offer more than just entertainment—they can help develop critical thinking, creativity, and social skills.
So next time you’re looking for a way to bond with friends or family, these board games will ensure that everyone has fun and leaves with great memories. From classics like Clue to a more modern version like Clue Escape Room, there’s no shortage of exciting games to explore!

I’m David M. I’ve been playing video games a long time, my pong game was fire. Now, my kids run circles around me but we always have a good time. We mostly play party and family games. Strategy and battle games are still among my favorites. I like writing about games almost as much as I do playing them. My favorite games are: Moving Out 2, Out of Space and Overcooked All You Can Eat.
