Choose a board game first by the age of the youngest player, then by the number of players and how long a game lasts. Here are our guidelines by age, with the games in stock at our Maârif showroom in Casablanca in October 2026. The ages given are those stated by the manufacturers on the product pages.
Which board game for which age?

| Around 6 years | First learning and first strategy games | En route vers le CP, Nathan (around 6 years); 3-in-1 magnetic chess set (from 6 years) |

5 key things to look for
- The age on the box: it takes into account how hard the rules are and any small parts. Keep small parts out of reach of children under 3.
- The number of players: Classic Scrabble is played by 2 to 4 people, and multi-game sets adapt to the number of players.
- How long a game lasts: with younger children, choose short games you can play again and again.
- The language: for a word or letter game, check the game's language on the product page.
- Storage and travel: a magnetic chess set means fewer pieces knocked over when travelling; a game set stores away in a single box.
Family games in Morocco: our tips
- Several languages at home: observation, logic or skill games, such as tangram or skittles, can be played without reading; keep word games for the language your child is learning to read in.
- With the grandparents: the 250-game set, Ferriot Cric brings together draughts, dominoes, a 54-card deck, lotto and battleships, games whose rules many already know.
- Between siblings of different ages: choose a game whose minimum age suits the youngest, or form teams pairing an older child with a younger one.
- On holiday and on long journeys: a magnetic game or a card game takes up little room in the suitcase.
