If you want to lure your child away from screens this summer, may I suggest one of the greatest board games ever made? Right now Amazon has Carcassonne for just $24.42—its lowest price ever—and this is a great game for kids 8+ and adults alike.

I don’t know if it’s truly going to seem more fun than Minecraft to the kids, but if you’re like me, you can declare that “We’re going to have fun as a family, darn it!” (except darn might not be the world I would use…) and force them to play, anyway. But they will like it, I promise.
