Today I thought in the spirit of preparing for Thanksgiving celebrations with family next week I would share our family\u2019s love of GAMES!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.&nbsp; So I\u2019ve learned not to buy games until I can hear from a friend that they\u2019ve played them and they were tons of fun and worth buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought as a little gift of thanks to all of you I would share some of my family\u2019s 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.&nbsp;
