Favorite Family Games

 


These are our go-to games when we sit down for family game night.
{for the record, EVERY night would be family game night if it were up to me!} ;)  As a reminder, our kids are currently 13 & 14, but we've been playing all of these games since they were in elementary school {probably 8ish on}

I cannot tell you the HOURS of entertainment these games have brough!  And some of the memories tied to them are the best.  Our best friends brought Play Nine with them when they came to visits one time and we played it SO MANY times that trip!  Cribbage will always take me back to nights at the lakehouse playing Chris Stapleton music and sipping on a drink with Adam {of the New Year Day we played with my inlaws!}  Flip7 is recent, but I'll go back to the nights we played this in the hotel lobby with the volleyball parents when I'm 80 and thinking back to the 'good ole days'.  I played THOUSANDS of games of Sorry and Rack-o with my grandma {the person who gave me my love of games to begin with!} and one of my core memories from childhood is playing Skip-bo with my mom almost every single night before bed {something I did with J for years} Ahh.  Games are the BEST!  

I'll post about the different card game we play another time, but I love them so much I started a 'card club' this year! :)

What game do you love?  We're always looking to learn new game.
