• Episode 456: Best Games of 2025 - Homeschool Together Reacts!

  In this episode, we put NBC News’ list of the “Best Board Games for Kids” to the test. Do we agree with the experts, or do we have better picks? We break down what makes each game shine for families, where we think the list got it right, and which titles deserve an upgrade. From Trouble to Ticket to Ride, we explore how these games build strategy, cooperation, and laughter around the table.
