10 year old girls are absolute spoiled for choice when it comes to board games. They can play both kids games and adult games and are able to read and interpret the rules more easily than younger kids. For this reason the list for 10 year old girls is larger hold a more diverse list of games to play. Girls who like more of a challenge I highly recommend trying Ticket to ride or Settlers of Catan. For those who want to play a more casual game I would go for exploding kittens or love letter.
Takenoko
Number of Players: 2-4
Time: 45 minutes
Pricing: High
Takenoko is a fun Japanese inspired game where players are trying to be the first to complete 7 objective cards. Takenoko is a great game for 10 year old girls as the game play is intuitive and great for building upon strategy skills and resource management, all with a really fun art style. Despite its admittedly more ‘feminine’ appearance Takenoko is actually a personal favorite of mine as the art style reminds me of stylized anime from the 2000s. I highly recommend this game for girls and adult men alike.

Sequence
Number of Players: 2-12
Time: 30 minutes
Pricing: Medium
Sequence is a strategy based board game where you want to place your marker 5 in a row, similar to connect 4 but more complex. When you play with more than two players you form 2 or 3 teams with the end goal being to create sequences before the others. This is a great game to play as a family as the parents and kids can team up and makes the game play feel fairer. The strategies can get a little advanced but is also a great way to push 8 year olds to be more strategic in games.

Clue (Cluedo)
Number of Players: 3-6
Time: 45 minutes
Pricing: Medium
Clue (Cluedo outside America) is a classic board game about solving the murder of Mr. Black in his mansion. You play as one of 6 characters who collect clues by visiting rooms and making accusations. This was one of my favourite board games as a child and I believe that the game still holds up to this day. There has been many editions and additions to the base game but the core concept and rules remain the same. Would highly recommend this game for any 10 year old girls.

Ticket to Ride
Number of Players: 2-4
Time: 30-60 minutes
Pricing: High
Ticket to Ride is a great euro-style board game where the objective is to finish as many destination tickets as you can before you or someone else runs out of trains. This is a great game for the whole family to play as its more mature art style and rules make it just as fun for adults to play with the older kids. This game is great for 10 year old girsl who love board games especially as it requires more strategic thinking from its players than other games on this list.

Love Letter

Settlers of Catan
Number of Players: 3-4
Time: 60 minutes
Pricing: Medium
Settlers of Catan is the classic board game that almost everyone who plays board games has played at one point or another. It is for this reason that I feel it is a great game to play with 10 year old girls as it’s a classic that holds up incredibly well to this day. It’s a chance calculating, resource management, negotiation game where the aim is to be the first player to get to 10 points. Catan is a great staple of all board games collections and is sure to be a hit with any 10 year old.

Jungle Speed
Number of Players: 2-10
Time: 15 minutes
Pricing: Medium
Jungle speed is a speed based party game where the aim of the game is to swipe the totem when your card matches an opponent’s. Jungle Speed is a great party game as its easy rules make it easy to learn and play. The real challenge comes from being able to spot the matching symbol before your opponent which can be hard to do especially with larger player counts. Definitely a great present idea for a 10 year old who likes speed based games.

Anomia
Number of Players: 3-6
Time: 15 minutes
Pricing: Low
Anomia is a fast paced word association game that is great for family gatherings. The box advises it’s for kids aged 10 and up but any 9 year old who is good at thinking fast on their feet will do well in this game. Speed is really the name of the game here when two players have matching symbols on their cards they have a duel to try and name something from the subject of each other’s card. Great game for older kids to play with friends and families.
