Jenga (Hasbro)
There are many versions of this block game, but the classic edition offers the best value for your buck. Pull a single block from the stack, being careful not to topple the whole thing! It’s a fast game with more time spent on set up than play, but it’s equally engaging for kids as grownups.
Buy it for just $11.34 at Amazon.
The right game can provide hours of play and family bonding time without much money. The truly best cheap family games should offer great memories for no more than $20 out of pocket.
