B.C.
Candyland, and Chutes and Ladders are classic starter board games.
It's tough with a baby around because everything is a choking hazard till they are about 3 and even then they'll shove beads/marbles/crayons in their ears and up their nose.
You need safe zones for the baby where older kid things are not within their reach.
Playpens used to be great for this.
