Are you ready to challenge family and friends during the holidays? Thanksgiving holidays are the perfect time to spend time with the family. Or with friends. And to indulge in fun board games.
As Thanksgiving day is approaching, we decided to select our favourite board games, to spend a few hours together, in relaxation and fun. So here are some games to have fun with family and friends during the winter holidays.
SKRIBBL.IO
This free multiplayer drawing and guessing game is a great way to interact with your family. Draw and guess words with your friends and people all around the world!
Telestrations
We first played this game on Thanksgiving last year and it’s been a hit at every party I’ve ever brought it to.
It’s described as “The Telephone Game Stretched Out”. One round we started off by sketching a Lady Bug and by the time it got to the last person (12 people), they thought it was a bobby pin?!
The most hilarious part is seeing everyone’s sketches and the range of art skills at the end!
Melissa & Doug Suspend Family Game
About 3 years ago we picked up this game to play with the family at Thanksgiving and it was a hit.
A family game of tricky hangs and steady hands! Try this hanging balance game and you'll be hooked! Suspend comes with 24 notched, rubber-tipped wire pieces to hang from a tabletop stand. Sound easy? Try adding another piece! Each time a bar is added, the balance shifts, the difficulty changes and the incredible midair sculpture transforms. Can you add all your game pieces without making it fall? This tricky game for 1-4 players is a test of steady nerves and steady hands.
IMAGINE
Imagine a game that becomes the life of the party! Combine, overlap, and even animate the special transparent cards in this fast guessing free-for-all. Is that icon actually a flag pole? Or is it a golf club, a shark fin, or even an ostrich's neck? With 61 unique icons and more than a thousand prompts, it's a game as big as your imagination!
THANKSGIVING ESCAPE ROOM
My family had a great time with this escape game. We split into two teams and each team was able to complete it in about an hour. Definitely worth it if you want a fun escape room without having to invent one. I would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for something to do with your family!
PUZZLES
Put the pieces together in a logical way, in order to arrive at the correct or fun solution of the Guggenheim museum in NYC, or any image of your choice!
Monopoly deal
Get a handy way to play the classic property-trading game! Be the first collect 3 full property sets of different colors, and you’ll win the Monopoly Deal Card Game. You’ll pick up cards when it's your turn and play Action cards to charge players rent, steal their cards or demand money for your birthday. Build up property sets, gather piles of money and keep wheeling and dealing until you're the Monopoly Deal winner!
