If you have or know a mom who enjoys a good board game, these may be the perfect addition to your mother’s day brunch/game day.

Never Have I Ever: Parent (Or Family) Edition
Never Have I Ever is the infamous party game of getting to know people a little better and taking a few drinks. But this version comes with pre-prepared questions that won’t (intentionally) call any one person out. And the Parent and Family Editions may let you get to know your family, your parents, and their parenting style a little better. Unfortunately, it may also make you question how you ever lived to adulthood.

Planted
My mom always wants plants for Mother’s Day. Not a bouquet of flowers, but plants that she can bring out to her garden and care for all summer. Personally, I have a black thumb. I’ve killed a pot of basil (Yes, I realize it’s basically a weed and will keep itself alive if you just ignore it, I still managed to kill it. No, I don’t know how.) But if you, too, know a mom who loves gardening and plants, Planted is a strategic card game that will allow you to out-green-thumb your friends and family in game form.
In this game of nature & nurture, make your house beautiful by caring for your very own collection of houseplants! In this easy-to-learn board game, collect your favorite plants and they try to feed them every round with the right combination of light, water, and plant food. Planted features 42 varieties of popular and exotic houseplants, each with their own requirements to grow. Discover various planting tools and decorations to help you raise beautiful, thriving plants, and score bonus points. The player, or plant parent, that ends up scoring the most points from growing their plants is declared the game’s biggest green thumb – and winner!
Outlander Trivia
If you want to get something fun and mostly personalized for your mom, figure out what their fandom is. “But my mom isn’t a nerd, she doesn’t have a fandom,” I promise you, she does. My mom, both of my grandmothers, and all of my aunts are very into Outlander. They all have matching pillows with I-forget-his-name-and-One-Time-I-Called-Him-Duncan-MacLeod-And-None-Of-Them-Thought-It-Was-Funny on it. And I get it, I get way too into things, too. So maybe my mom and both of my grandmothers and all of my aunts need some Outlander trivia to play against each other.
Calling all Sassenachs and Scots at heart. Do you know all there is to know about Claire and Jamie’s adventures? With questions about the first nine books in the Outlander series, you’ll be challenged to remember the smallest details.

Mom Trivia
Or, your mom may prefer a more general type of trivia that still celebrates her.
And if neither of those is your mom’s fandom, you’ll figure out what it is. I believe in you. Mom Trivia asks about famous mothers from pop culture, history, or just you knowledge about Mother’s Day in general. Will you know more about moms as a general topic than your own mother?
This bright, portable box is filled with 140 surprising and engaging trivia questions about all types of moms! Perfectly sized to throw in a bag to take to game night, a parent’s house, a family celebration, or on vacation.
Do You Really Know Your Family?
This is one of those very cute games that says, “Let’s spend some time together as a family.” Basic but personal trivia questions are meant to test how well you know the other members of your family, and maybe even spark a conversation or two, as well as offer silly challenges. And all of it is family-friendly, so there won’t be any weird, uncomfortable questions that you’d really prefer your mom not answer. You’re welcome.
Get ready to compete against your family to see who really knows each other best. Learn about each other and build new family memories as you answer interesting questions, spark conversations and perform silly challenges together. This card game will surely become a family game night favorite!
Queenz
If all else fails, go punny. Your mom’s a queen, right? Joke aside, Queenz is a gorgeous and really fun game about flower-tending and beekeeping. Plant your orchids, maintain the most beautiful garden, attract the most bees, and produce the tastiest honey around.
In Queenz, the newest Game from Bruno Cathala (award-winning designer of Kingdom I no and 5 tribes) and Johannes goupy, the players are beekeepers planting orchids to attract bees and produce the tastiest Honey. Players must choose from different shapes to plant their orchids. Placing the same color of flowers next to existing flower beds gives the change to score big points. Producing different types of Honey earns even more points. The player who most cleverly designs their garden will win fame and fortune!
