In yesterday’s blog I shared how much me and my family love music and shared a playlist of happy songs  Today I thought in the spirit of preparing for Thanksgiving celebrations with family next week I would share our family’s love of GAMES!!!

Finding new board games and card games is something I am always on the hunt for, but I have found that buying a game without having played it before often ends in disappointment at the purchase when the game turns out not to be fun.  So I’ve learned not to buy games until I can hear from a friend that they’ve played them and they were tons of fun and worth buying.

I thought as a little gift of thanks to all of you I would share some of my family’s very favorite games to play together with you while there is still time for you to get them from Amazon for delivery before your Thanksgiving festivities with your families start.  (Note: I do not take money to advertise any products on my blogs so any products links I share are only for products I genuinely own and love!).

The games listed below are all on our family’s favorite games to play together list:

Reverse Charades (must have for family gatherings!)

Anomia

Code Names

The Chameleon

Cover Your Assets

Sequence

The Bears and the Bees

Slapzi

I hope your family has as much fun playing these as my family does! And if you have any recommendations on fun games I’m missing from my list please share them in comments so I can order them in time to try them out this Thanksgiving!
