Canada Day is July 1st and since I’m Canadian, I wanted to highlight some games for Canadians. I have not played all these games but they seem like a fun time while celebrating Canada Day as well.

Trivial Pursuit Genus IV: Canadian Edition is the Canadian version of the popular game. For 2-6 players ages 12 and up, I think most people know this trivia game where you answer questions and collect pie pieces.

These sound like fun games. I’d really like to try Canada-opoly.
These are great selections! I never knew there were so many Canadian themed games. I might have to pick up Trivial Pursuit, I remember my parents always played that game growing up. I should try it!
These are cool! I didn’t know there were so many “Canadian” games. I should look up the Canadian Trivial Pursuit… I always get frustrated by the American content in the regular version. Maybe I’d actually be okay at the Canadian version! :) Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow! I’ll have to keep an eye out for the Trivial Pursuit Canadian Edition!! I love TP!
These look like the perfect games to try out while sitting on a dock somewhere! :) My kids have always loved Canadian history-themed BrainQuest games, so I’m sure they’d love these, too. Happy (early) Canada Day!
These are great games! I didn’t realize there were so many different games that revolved around Canada!
These look like some really fun games! I hope I can find some of them in the US. We love family game night!
