If you’re looking to buy games, you’re faced with a huge choice: board games, card games, video games, family games and party games all differ significantly in age rating, number of players, playing time and technical requirements. A flashy box or a well-known brand alone doesn’t tell you much about whether a game will suit your household.
A game that says “for up to ten people” can still be far less enjoyable with just two players. Always check the full player count and think about how many people will actually be playing regularly.
The USK rating isn’t a recommendation for personal taste, but it’s an important guide. A game rated USK 18 is not intended for children or teenagers. With board and card games, you should also pay attention to warnings about small parts and the recommended age group.
When buying Nintendo Switch 2 games or PS5 games, check the platform, storage medium and online requirements. Some titles need an internet connection, an online subscription or optional in-app purchases. Physical games may also require you to download additional data.
When you buy video games, compatibility is the first thing to check. A PS4 title might include a PS5 version, but it won’t automatically use all the features of the newer console. With Nintendo games, you need to distinguish between Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Also look at the game mode:
For families, games with a clear age rating, straightforward rules and a suitable playing time work best. Games for children aged 6 and over often contain small parts, so you must check the packaging warnings. Games for adults, on the other hand, can include complex, humorous or explicitly adult content.
A good game for a short games night needs different qualities from a strategy game that fills an evening. Check:
With board games, sturdy cards, clearly readable text and an easy-to-follow instruction manual are practical signs of quality. With video games, what matters is the platform, the disc or cartridge, the USK rating and the available game modes.

For larger groups, party games and card games that are quick to explain work well. UNO is designed for 2–10 people. Activity Original can be played with 3–16 people according to the product details. Also check the age rating and whether drawing, explaining or acting things out is suitable for the group.
Check the platform, the USK rating, the format and the online or co-op mode. For titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the details include PS5 compatibility, a USK rating of 16 and over, and Blu-ray as the medium. Games with online features may require an internet connection and additional services.
That depends on how you use them. Board games usually have no ongoing costs after purchase, but they need enough space and other players. Video games can require digital add-ons, online services or updates. So when planning your budget, you should consider not just the purchase price, but also accessories, subscriptions and technical requirements.
