Winning Moves Games

As a mother of 3, finding the perfect game for family nights can be a struggle. When one doesn't want a “Basic” game, and the others want something “simple,” it's a task to find a game that fits our needs. That's why we were over the moon when Winning Moves reached out offering to send us a few of their games to try out! I consulted with the tribunal (AKA my kids) and together, we picked out a few games to try. We hope that you love this Winning Moves Games post.

Risk 1980's

My entire family goes CRAZY over risk! When we all can sit down for hours and play a game, this is one that we often choose. It's competitive, strategic, and can last forever, making it one of my favorites to play with my kids!

Risk The 1980's Edition by Winning Moves is a board game for 2-6 players, ages 8 and up, that captures the classic Risk experience with a twist of 1980s nostalgia. It's a game of global domination where you aim to conquer territories, collect armies, and outmaneuver your opponents. The game includes a fold-out board, army pieces, dice, and cards, all featuring the original art style of the 1980s. Just like classic Risk, victory depends on strategic troop deployment, clever attacks, and a dash of luck with the dice.

Risk 1959

Risk 1959 offers adorable cases and an overall fancier look to the classic game of risk we love! This one is a mainstay on our game shelf. Risk 1959 by Winning Moves Games is a strategy board game for 2 to 6 players ages 8 and up. It's a classic reproduction of the original 1959 version of Risk.

The goal is to conquer the world by eliminating other players through strategic troop deployment and dice-rolling combat. The game includes an oversized game board with original art, wooden army pieces, dice, and cards. 

Clue Classic Edition

My daughter is a huge fan of detective games. If there's a mystery to be solved, she's always up for it. That's why we love playing Clue as a family. It's a classic game that never gets old, and the more people who play, the more fun it is. Sometimes we play as a family, but other times we split up into teams to add our twist to the game. Either way, it's always a blast!

Clue Classic Edition is designed for 3-6 players, ages 8 and up. In the game, players take on the role of detectives who are trying to solve a murder. They must figure out who killed Mr. Boddy, in which room of the mansion the crime occurred, and with what weapon. Players take turns moving their pawns around the game board, collecting clues, and making accusations. The game rewards careful attention to detail and deductive reasoning.

Clue Master Detective

While Clue is near perfect the way it is… Bigger is better! And this master detective game is BIG! With more rooms and a bigger board, the master detective set is sure to raise all new questions. Clue Master Detective is a super-sized version of the classic whodunit game Clue.

It has more suspects, weapons, and locations than the original game, making the mystery even more challenging to solve. Players take turns rolling dice and moving around a mansion game board, collecting clues that will help them figure out who killed Mr. Boddy (the victim), in which room, and with what weapon. The game is designed for up to 10 players, ages 10 and up. 

The Game Of Life Classic Edition

I remember as a kid playing the game of life with my family and I love bringing that bit of my childhood to my kids. Life is a game that is fun to play, but not too competitive for when we want a more relaxed game night.

The Game of Life Classic Edition from Winning Moves Board Games is a board game for two to six players, ages 10 and up. It is a classic game that has been enjoyed by families for generations. The goal of the game is to retire with the most money. Players spin a spinner and move around the board, acquiring an education, a career, a spouse, and children. They can also land on spaces that give them good or bad luck. The game is full of surprises and can be a lot of fun for the whole family.

Monopoly 1980's Edition

For those of you who didn't know, my son collects Monopoly… so this was a must for him! While we have all types of Monopoly games from Disney to Game of Thrones, the classic is always a safe bet for everybody at the table. What's a family game night without Monopoly? Monopoly 1980's Edition by Winning Moves Games is a board game designed for 2-8 players ages 8 and up.

It's a nostalgic take on the classic Monopoly game, featuring the original artwork and game pieces from the 1980s. Players move around the board buying properties, building houses and hotels, and driving their opponents into bankruptcy. The goal is to be the last player remaining with money. The game includes a gameboard, tokens, dice, houses, hotels, a money tray, Chance and Community Chest cards, title deeds, and instructions.

Trouble

Raise your hand if you remember the classic game of trouble. I remember sick days and family nights filled with the popping noise of the trouble dice. Of all the games from my childhood and my children's childhoods, this one is one of my favorites and holds the perfect amount of nostalgia. Trouble is a board game where players race their four pawns around the board to reach the finish zone first.

Players roll a die using the iconic Pop-O-Matic bubble, and landing on the same space as another player sends their pawn back to start. Strategic movement and a bit of luck with the die are key to winning this fast-paced and sometimes frustrating game (as the name implies!). It's a fun choice for family game night, typically for ages 5 and up, and can be played with 2 to 4 players.
