I'm so excited! Elle finally posted about the games her family loves.
Finally.
I always see that big row of games but I never know which ones are fabulous and which are stinkers.
My kids love games but I'm at a loss beyond a few standards we played growing up. We were not a "games" kind of family.
Here's what we have now (that I can think of without getting up to look):
Connect 4. Love this. Quick. Easy. And we also have the travel version.
Chess. My son and husband play chess regularly. I can still beat Sweet but I have to pay attention or he wins.
Checkers. I suck at Checkers. Sweet loves to school me.... although we have a house rule that the winner has to pick up the game so he always makes sure I win the last round.
Battleship. I loved playing this game with my grandma when I was a kid. (She also taught me gin and several kinds of solitaire) But I hate the version we have... the pegs don't stay in very well.
Candyland. Duh.
Trouble.
Sorry.
Rummy-0. This has several names. My gram taught us to play when we were tiny and it can get pretty competitive during the holidays.
Uno. This is actually the set from when we were kids... my mom off-loaded it.
Some other card games. Actually.... I'd like to learn some good games using a regular deck of cards. We play Speed. And Crazy 8's & Go Fish.
The other problem at our house is, of course, storage.... we can't have very many games... they take up too much space.

Ooh, connect 4! I need to get that one. Personally, I love Scattegories and Balderdash, but those are adult games. I have one called Enchanted Forest that's for kids--cool gameboard.
Our family is big into the card game 31. It's played at every single family gathering (hubby's side). Elaina has been sitting at the table with her own chips since she was born, and I imagine Gus will join in the fun this year. Gotta teach those kids to gamble early!!
