We love Sequence

I love Boggle! But it’s too loud to play when someone’s sleeping in the next room! I learned that when I was a little girl and wanted to play with mom when dad was sleeping.

You sound like a mirror of our family. I love Scattergories especially.

Boardgames are awesome. We’re addicted to Cranium. If you haven’t played it yet, you should try it. It’s a mix of pictionary, charades, trivia games, and a few others. There’s even a version for younger children called Caboodle (I think, I don’t have the kids version).

Happy T13. 🙂

I have only heard of one or two of the games, how cool.

Fun! We like a lot of those too, and I hate to tell you, but Tim taught your kids to play Liverpool! He taught me years ago and we’ve been teaching your kids and their spouses/boyfriends/girlfriends ever since 🙂

Stacy, I knew y’all taught them to play…and they taught us to play!

I can’t wait till my kids are all big enough for a family game night. Hubby doesn’t do board games an dI miss them.

Scrabble is my favorite hands down but I enjoy Mad Gab as well. Actually, all of them are fun. In my family card games rule though, Pitch and Texas Hold’em are the most played.

We love Scrabble and Boggle. I played Boggle with my 2 grandsons, ages 10 1/2 and almost 13, all summer long. I think it builds their vocabulary.
My TT is up.

Scrabble, Mexican Train, Taboo, Guess Who, Uno, Liverpool. Hubby doesn’t like trivia games–says he has better things to remember than trivial facts.
Happy TT!

I LOVE Taboo. My family also likes Spades, Gin, RummyCube, Chicken Foot, Mexican Train, Cranium, and Nurts! Sounds like I need to have a game night! FUN!
