3) Monopoly Gamer

I bet your little gamer is also a Super Mario Bros. fan! You probably are too, because 80’s Nintendo. What’s awesome about Monopoly Gamer is that you don’t need a game console to play this game and the entire family can play, even the non-gamers! Family Gaming Night is a big at our house and we often choose to play Monopoly Gamer together. What’s also nice about this Super Mario Bros. Monopoly themed board game is that it includes all your favorite Super Mario characters, coins replace Monopoly money, there are power-up just like in the video game, and you even get to battle legendary Bosses.

Also fun is the fact that you can expand your game with Power Packs to add more characters (so more players can join the fun). You can purchase these fun power up pieces separately or as part of a bundle.

4) K’NEX Mario Kart Building Set

While we are on the topic of Super Mario… These K’NEX Mario Kart Building Sets are pretty cool! I know they may look very last year because they’re not based on a new Super Mario game but K’NEX never get old and neither does Mario Kart. Plus we love K’NEX sets around here and I think it’s great that these include a theme that little gamers are really into. Kids don’t actually have to play video games to get their fix of Super Mario. With these fun kits they can build and play, even invent their own Super Mario Kart adventures.
