More Family Board Games Photograph: Simon Hill There are so many family board games. Here are a few more we liked. In a World for $28: Someone reads out an “In a World,” card which might say “where we are setting up a colony on a distant planet,” and then the players read out “We…
We did the math to help you find the hybrids that will start saving you money the fastest (and a few that won’t). We calculated the payoff time using $3.14-per-gallon regular gas, $3.96-per-gallon premium gas, and 12,000 miles per year. We also used CR’s exclusive real-world fuel economy ratings and compared the sticker price for…
I will admit to being afraid of scales—the kind that weigh you, not the ones on a snake. And so my first reaction to the idea I’d be getting a free body-scanning scale with a Factor prepared meal kit subscription was something akin to “Oh no!” It’s always bad or shameful news, I figured, and…
Based on surveys of Consumer Reports members, the CR-V has average predicted overall owner satisfaction. While surveyed members are pleased with aspects such as comfort and driving experience, value stands out as a disappointment. When asked if they got what they wanted relative to the price paid, owners gave the CR-V the lowest rating. (Admittedly,…
This included a Persian turmeric chicken with dill-currant rice that fits seamlessly into Marley Spoon’s repertoire, deglazing with lemon juice instead of wine. The rice was toasted, then cooked with currants and spinach. It was simple, elegant, and kind of a treat. Among the pan-Asian dishes, this was the most successful. Other international meals are…

Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air’s battery capacity will sit around 2,900 mAh, a steep drop from prior iPhone models, especially at the 6.6-inch screen size. But the company is supposedly making up for it with power-saving tricks to make sure battery life remains similar to other…
These findings come from CR’s exclusive member surveys fielded in the fall of 2022, 2023, and 2024, which leveraged data on 12,222 gas-powered riding mowers that members purchased new between 2014 and 2024. Below is a breakdown of the winners and losers across the three gas riding mower categories we test: lawn tractors, zero-turn mowers,…
The moment many have been waiting years for has arrived. Nvidia has long made graphics cards that powered the Windows PC ecosystem for decades—now it wants to control the whole thing with “superchips,” starting with the RTX Spark. Announced over the weekend at the Computex tech expo in Taiwan, RTX Spark chips combine unified memory,…
The biggest difference between the new Uncharted and the C-HR is one that longtime Subaru fans wouldn’t expect. Subaru, a brand that has all but become synonymous with all-wheel drive, offers a front-wheel-drive version of the Uncharted, while its Toyota twin doesn’t. Sacrilege or not, this should at least offer a less expensive option for…
Include fruit or vegetables. Most older adults don’t get the daily recommended 1½ to 2 cups of fruit and 2 to 3 cups of veggies. The antioxidants in produce help prevent cell damage linked to conditions like heart disease and cancer, according to Dueñas-Tanbonliong. Produce also offers fiber. When you can, incorporate foods like vitamin…
