This Thanksgiving.....
This year we are having the festivities at our house and I am currently boxing up every single freaking parlour game we own and taking it up to the attic. I'm like the Grinch of post Thanksgiving Family Gaming.
Pictionary? OH HELL NAW. Cranium GTFO? Scattergories? GET IN THE FREAKING BOX. I'm throwing Ticket to Ride and Munchkin in the box of shame too, because reasons....
This is going to be totally awesome.

As far as I'm concerned holidays are a good time for playing mainstream games. We use it as a time for playing Euchre and Mexican Train, as well as party games.

A few years ago I thought I'd shake things up so I brought Betrayal at the House on the Hill to Thanksgiving to play with the nieces and nephews. They were willing to give it a shot but it ended up being the worst game of it I've ever played. Not only did the haunt kick in early - it was something ridiculous like the third or fourth turn - but it was a bizarre haunt that was weird even by Betrayal standards: it was the haunt where the Traitor is a mad scientist that shrinks the other players and tries to kill them with his cat , all the while they're trying to find a toy airplane to escape in. I was the Traitor and since they didn't have anything for upgrades or equipment due to the haunt kicking in so early the game was over shortly thereafter.

I'd play those with my extended family. Some of my fondest memories are of playing dominoes after Thanksgiving dinner. All the older folks would tell stories while we played. Sometimes we could get my grandmother to tell us stories about her old beaus and then get her to pull out the hat box full of all the old love letters she had saved.

Puerto Rico is in a prominent spot on the on the games left out for perusal shelf. Hoping to get a game or two of that in. Takenoko, Tsuro, Castles of Burgundy, King of New York, Smash Up, Tortoise and the Hare (a fun little wagering race game for the kiddos), Samurai Sword, Citadels, The Resistance, We Didn't Even Playtest This at All, Love Letter ( Batman Edition), The Great Dalmuti, and Gloom and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting are on there.
