Spot It! is one of the few games where kids genuinely beat parents

Spot It! is great for quick bursts of fun — and it’s one of the few games where kids genuinely might beat parents, which is half the appeal. The rounds are fast enough that attention spans don’t wander, and the pattern-matching mechanic levels the playing field between ages better than almost any card game I’ve seen. It fits in a diaper bag, takes thirty seconds to explain, and somehow stays fun after the tenth round.
