Kareni Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Hi there, You do realize that your question could generate answers you may not have intended?? One of our favorite games for adults and for older children (say 12 and up) is the game Wise and Otherwise. Here's a link to some information and reviews: http://www.amazon.com/review/product/B00000GBQL Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 nt Card games: Rummy, Phase 10 Board games: Outburst (need a few people for this one), Scrabble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle T Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Scattergories, Skip-Bo, Mille Borne, Uno, Trivial Pursuit, ummmm, those are the one's that come to mind. Of course, they can all be played by kids too. Now, if you mean ADULT games, well, I guess I could name a few of those too....... :p Michelle T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 :D Scrabble, Blokus, Trivial Pursuit although we more often than not play w/ the older dc than by ourselves. No time. He's not a card-game type person while I am. Dd11 is a card-game person so we play together a bunch...Phase 10, Uno, Uno Attack, Ziggity (kids game, but fun!), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Balderdash, scattergories, pictionary, mexican train dominoes, TriBond, scrabble, backgammon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay in Cal Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Some current favorites are: Party Games: Wise and Otherwise Trivial Pursuit Karaoke Revolution on the XBox 360 (who knew singing was so fun?) Strategy and board games: Settlers of Catan Thurn and Taxis Pillars of the Earth Blue Moon City Arkham Horror (fun, if you like HP Lovecraft--plus, it's cooperative) Two person games (for when the kids are asleep, but no other grownups are over): Settlers of Catan card game San Juan A great resource is BoardGameGeek.com You can just check out the "hot" games list on the left, click and read reviews, etc. You'll get a feel for the strategy/randomness of each one, complexity, and other important design features. Often the most popular games that have lasted (like Catan, for instance) are the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs. H. Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 If you like Rummy, then Rummikub is a good game that more than two can play. We also like Mexican Train Dominoes, Trivial Pursuit, Clue (some things are just classic!), Hearts, Spades, Poker, and a cool party game is Battle of the Sexes. Women vs. Men, the women get asked questions usually men would know (like sports, cars, etc.), and the men get asked questions usually women would know (movies, books, fashion, etc.). Lots of fun and usually hilarious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
