We were at a dinner group tonight and played "Tri-Bond" what a fun game.
What are some of your favorite board or card games. Our turn is in December and I would like to have a game to play.

For cards, I LOVE to play Spite and Malice. You play it with standard card decks. The rules are in my Hoyle book.

I am a Scrabble girl.

have you ever played Dominoes? What fun - especially if you're pouring drinks!

In the summer, we go up north to our summer house in NH, my parents are there May-September. On rainy afternoons we break out the dominoes, blend up some margaritas, and laugh the afternoon away!

it's no fun to play Jenga with an engineer, tho, they always win

I like to play Jenga...its GREAT when you make it a drinking game, too ....I also like the oldies, like Sorry.

A really fun board-type game is Taboo, especially with several people.

"This is the game where you try to get your team to guess the secret word, without using the five Taboo clues. So if the secret word is "kitten," you can't say "meow", "cat", "purr", "furry", or "animal". If you do, you'll be unceremoniously "buzzed" by the opposing team. You've got 60 seconds to get your team to guess as many words as possible. But choose your clues carefully because they might be Taboo."

When my family gets together, there is almost always a card game going on somewhere. Usually, we play Pinochle; but we also play Uno whenever more than four people want to get in on the fun. There are times when we all get hysterical from laughing so much!

Thanks everyone for your great ideas. You've given me lots to go on.
