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.

Word for Word Canada is a game for 2-4 players ages 12 and up. You answer questions about Canada to get from one side of the board to the other. You have to spell words, provide definitions and solve word puzzles. Word for Word Canada is created by GDC GameDEVCO LTD
Canada-opoly is for 2-6 players ages 8 and up. Created by Outset Media, it’s liked Monopoly with Canadian places and build log cabins and trade them in for ski lodges.
Monopoloy: Canada is the official Monopoly version from Hasbro. 2-6 players for ages 8 and up. This one uses and electronic banking sysem and you build the typical houses and hotels. It does include Canadian cities.
Explore Canada is also from Outset Media and is for 2-6 players, ages 7 and up. It’s a trivia game good for the whole family. It’s a bilingual game as all pieces and instructions come in both languages. Answers questions such as What is Canada’s longest river or Why did Terry Fox attempt to run across Canada?
Reverse Charades: Canadian Edition, Eh! is an add-on pack for Reverse Charades which I’ve mentioned before. For 6-99 players ages 6 and up, Reverse Charades is where many people act out a word at the same time while one person guesses.
Brain Box: Discover Canada is a game from Green Board Game Co for 1-99 players ages 8 and up. Players study a card for 10 seconds and then answer a question based on a roll of the die. Keep the card if you answer correctly and see who collects the most cards. The Canadian edition includes provinces, territories, capitals, attractions, famous people and more.
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.
Charades in a Box: Canadian Edition is a simple Canadian charades game. For ages 10 and up, 4+ players.
