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!

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.

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.
