Looking for fun board games (or other) to play with the family this year. What does your family enjoy?
Apples to Apples was quite popular two years ago. There are many editions, including a kids edition.
upwords is a great game
Another fun card game is Fluxx. It's a game where the rules are constantly changing. You have to use that to your advantage.
Pictionary
Taboo
Risk
saving. Big family Christmas coming up.
Scrabble!
Give a synopsis, not just titles. What's the object of the game? Thanks. < :)
though not a board game ... I just discovered 20Q in WalMart ... an electronic hockey puck thing, based on the old, boring 20 questions but this is veritably haunted!
Thanks!
I've never heard of that game. Is it fun?
HOW TO PLAY:
Should be played with 8 or more players using 2 decks of cards shuffled together (remove the jokers)
1. The object is to collect four cards of one kind (four twos, four kings and so on) and not to be the person left without a spoon. To begin, place the spoons (one fewer than the number of players) in the center of the table within grabbing reach of all players. Each player is dealt four cards. The dealer keeps the deck.
2. The dealer picks a card from the deck and then discards one card from his hand, sliding it facedown to the player to his left. That player takes it, then picks one card from his hand and passes it to his left.
3. Each player in turn does the same, as quickly as possible. Each person should have four cards in his hand at all times. The player to the right of the dealer places discarded cards in a pile to his left to be used by the dealer when the original deck is used up.
4. Play continues until one player has four of a kind, at which time he takes a spoon from the pile. He may steal the spoon surreptitiously, continuing to pass cards until someone else notices. Or he may grab his spoon, creating a mad rush for spoons at the table.
5. The player left without a spoon has lost the round. If you like to keep score, that player is given an S. As players spell S-P-O-O-N-S, they are out. The player left at the end is the winner.
What's a board game? /s
Strip Twister. Put a shot glass on each circle.
Taboo is quite a fun game.
That is truly weird! < :)
It's a game you play to keep from getting bored. < ;)
I like to play skip-bo with my kids. It's a card game like uno.
