GOB's Recommended Best Memory Board and Card Games

Memory Board and Card Games

Play games and exercise your mental muscles and keep your brain buzzing with our top picks for the best memory board games and card games!

Great for children, adults and seniors.

Codenames Board Game

Players: 2-8
Playing time: 15 mins

The top-secret board game. Win or lose, it’s fun to figure out the clues!

In Codenames, you’ll be working together to contact all your agents before the other team and will have to decipher clues in this fun and challenging social word game.

Using memory and deduction is key for Codenames. Spymasters give one-word clues that can help their teammates guess the correct words all while avoiding the assassin. This game is super fun but a testing game as players’ communication is limited. By focusing on choosing the most important words the game challenges the brain and makes you think.

Give Codenames a try and play this deceptively awesome game!

Hanabi

Players: 2-5
Playing time: 25 mins

A cooperative deduction card game with a twist. Hanabi is a dazzling display of memory and communication skills.

Each player has 5 cards and can see everyone’s cards except their own. Teamwork is important but only if your memory skills are up to scratch.

Making decisions without seeing your cards has fun gameplay that’s also challenging. Remember vital information other players have told you and help each other create an amazing firework display!

Order and Pick up Today

Survive: Escape from Atlantis

Players: 2-4
Playing time: 45-60 mins

Adventure, suspense, thrills… escape from Atlantis, and survive!

Survive: Escape from Atlantis is a long-standing favorite for memory-focused board games. Set in the early 20th century, a time of adventure and exploration, Atlantis has been discovered. Great treasures have been found but Atlantis begins to sink! Can you escape?

This is a really fun game with sea serpents, whales, and sharks that only requires a bit of light strategy. With custom dice, tokens and boats, players must move along the grid while avoiding the scary meeples. By bluffing and using your memory you can escape on a boat with the most survivor points and win!

Order and Pick up Today

Blokus

Players: 2-4
Playing time: 45-60 mins

Blokus is an abstract strategy game with transparent, Tetris-shaped, colored pieces that players are trying to play onto the board. The only caveat to placing a piece is that it may not lie adjacent to your other pieces, but instead must be placed touching at least one corner of your pieces already on the board.

There is a solitaire variation where one player tries to get rid of all the pieces in a single sitting.

Azul is a tile-placement game in which two to four players compete for the highest score by claiming tiles and arranging them on a board to score points. You earn extra points for collecting sets of the same color of tile or creating particular patterns. And you lose points for taking tiles you can’t use. It’s a short game that requires a lot of decision-making, which keeps your brain firing.

Soduku

1 Player, 8+ Players, Educational, Pattern Building, 15-30min, Ages 10+, Deduction,

Sudoku is played by filling in a 9×9 grid with numbers. Each grid comes with some prefilled numbers. You solve the puzzle by filling in the empty cells with a single-digit number (1 through 9) that allows for each row, column, and region to be completed without any duplicate numbers in them. (Even though numbers are used, there is no arithmetic involved in playing Sudoku.) Completing a Sudoku puzzle involves using logic and working memory (the ability to hold information in your mind over brief intervals).

Jigsaw Puzzles

Doing a jigsaw puzzle engages both sides of your brain: the right, which is the creative side, and the left, which is the logical side. Solving them improves visuospatial functioning. Puzzles are also relaxing. Jigsaw puzzles are also fun to do with friends, and the social interaction is great for brain health, too.

Chess

Chess is an excellent memory booster since it involves memorizing several combinations of moves and their potential outcomes for strategic purposes.
