Help! Family Game Night Suggestions Needed

[Amy@Team RDP]

Christmas is fast approaching and the family is descending on my home quickly. We need awesome family game night suggestions ASAP! Our ages are 13 -76 years young and our attention spans are short (Monopoly and Risk take too long to play). We just found LED glowing Jenga which will pair great with some hot coco. Need some more ideas - Whatcha got for me?

Jackbox Games

www.jackboxgames.com

These are the perfect party games...

They run on the TV, and then everyone can log in and play on their phones.

They are all basically Grated, but...

They can turn XXX rated real quick with the right people and some alcohol!

I think Quiplash is probably my favorite for that. Endless non stop laughs. Fibbage is great as well.

You're welcome!

We play different games every year. 20-30 people age 17-78. The most memorable was 2 years ago when we played bunco followed by left-right-center. Who knew how competitive Aunt Carol was! Seriously, we are being asked to repeat for this year.

 

[oldboatsrule]

Left right center is a favorite in our family.
First few rounds are played with $1's
Then the stakes go up. Drinks $20's. Or whatever else you can think of.

Played Uzzle for the first time at Thanksgiving. It was pretty fun.

The Uzzle - Fun Family Games | Board Games For Family

Uzzle combines the fun of board games with the challenge of puzzles. Compete with family and friends to see who will score the most points! The Uzzle has four levels so everyone can play. Beginners can start on level one and slowly work up to level four!

Cards Against Humanity can always turn pretty fun, if you're looking for table games.

We played that a lot when the Boy Scouts would come over...

 

[Rajobigguy]

Mad Gab

Taboo

Scatagories

These games are fast moving and lots of laughs.

For more intimate gatherings, Dirty words is a real hoot.

We have good times playing family Pictionary, split into teams.

 

[Outdrive1]

We’ve been playing Mexican Train a lot.

My mom shocked us all with some of her answers. Lol

Catch phrase was always a big hit at our family Christmases. Specially the one time my very prim and proper Grandmother got the word Orgy and couldn't pass it....

X2. Easy and fun. Can play with teams and be competitive or just play and see who can get the answer first. Adults who didn’t get take a shot.

 

[monkeyswrench]

We do Uno and Apples to Apples.

 

[yamadog 426]

Penny drop, Shut the box and Left Right Center.

 

[Mike Honcho]

Another vote for LCR with dollars so 3 bucks a game and all ages can play.

 

[mjc]

taco cat goat cheese pizza. more fun with drinks and kids love it.

 

[DrunkenSailor]

Another vote for cards against humanity. They have a family edition too. 13 might be borderline for the adult version depending on the kid.

 

[Lucky Larry]

TELESTRATIONS !!!

There isn’t anyone who doesn’t enjoy this game. Everyone is cracking up.
Perfect for young and old.
Better if you’re horrible at drawing.
Mo’ better when there’s drinking.

We always like Drawful... That one can get X rated quickly with the right people and booze. . But with kids you can keep it under control.... Usually...

 

[YeahYeah01]

Liars dice is a good one.

 

[dread Pirate]

Monopoly.

Take bets on who snaps first

 

[Rajobigguy]

Maybe not appropriate for the diverse age group you will be entertaining but for future reference. It’s kind of a teeny bopper game but with the right crowd of adults can be a real hoot.
Seven minutes in heaven.

What's the story with Jackbox?
I have never heard of this before- I am looking at their website and am not sure what to buy. If you buy the party pack 10 (most current) do you also receive access to all of the previous party packs?

No. You only receive what you buy.

The older versions are much cheaper, so you should maybe start with one of those?

The sell Quiplash separately, because everyone wants that one! Just buy that and try it out?

Some games are not Adult games, so to me, those aren't that much fun.

I have em installed on a Firestick, but you can get em for most any device.

As a kid there were many holidays finished up with 31. We raised the stakes to 3 dollars as the .25 wasn't;t cutting it for us kids.

Jackbox is a lot of fun. My brother had it during the first COVID lockdown and we would play online it was a good time.

Blank slate.. you are given a word. As example WATER. then everyone ads a second word. water ski, water polo, water fountain. Match your word with another player for points. Moves fast

You all are amazing with awesome ideas! We survived and had a great time. No one left early! HAHA! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas with your families. THANK YOU!!

 

[Amy@Team RDP]

SOOOOooooooo!!!! What did you play and how was the funfest????

We played Jenga, Blackjack with candy canes, Kings in the Corner, HORSE (got a new basketball hoop), corn hole, and Uno. Spend most of our time eating and drinking. A great time was had by all! Thanks for all the suggestions and I now have a new list of games I need to try.

 

[lbhsbz]

Watching….

Wife won’t play monopoly with me anymore….I was the bank last time, and she wouldn’t pour me another drink so I foreclosed on all her shit. That was the end of it lol

 

[Romans9]

A few of my favorites since all 4 kids are no longer at home and now its just us;

Hide the one eyed weasel

Watch Wrinkles the trouser snake grow

How to make kitty purr.

 

[DarkHorseRacing]

If you’re from the south, Spin the Bottle is hugely popular when played with the family.

 

[FCT]

Mexican train!

 

[LHC Kirby]

Quiet game



The first person who makes a noise loses. I love this game.

 

[DLC]

Summer camp in the south. The camp activities sure weren’t what I was used to on the west coast.

We were just talking about it a month ago. That was a good one for so many years on long drives. I thought that we were the only family that sucked and did this to their kids. My wife lost most of the time.

 

[h2o225]

We played flip uno with 3 decks. Also uno no mercy 4 decks. We had 14 of us Christmas eve and day. Flip uno you would be surprised at how many of our friends had turrets. Uno no mercy one can eliminate people playing. With our group and alcohol the games get funny as hell.

 

[shalastetok]

Sounds like you had a blast with those Uno variations! For your next family game night, have you thought about trying out some money games for Cash App? It could add an extra layer of excitement to the evening while providing the chance to win some cash prizes!
