Let the games begin

My family loves playing games. Mike and I don't play them as much anymore and I want to start again.

We had some friends over tonight and we played Amazeing Labryinth and Break the Safe. The first is a slower paced, save yourself kind of game and the second is a face paced, have to finish as a team in 30 minutes.

What games do you have and what do you like to play?

Mike and I have the following games:
  • Phase 10
  • Apples to Apples
  • Scrabble
  • Boggle
  • Yahtzee (this game was invented by a couple while on a trip on their yaht)
  • Break the Safe
  • Amazeing Labryinth
  • Murder Mystery "How to Kill a Mother-in-law"
  • Simpsons Trivia
  • Trivial Pursuit 90's Edition
  • Dutch Blitz
  • Ziggity
  • Monopoly (the Kelowna version)

On our wish list:

  • Balderdash (the newest version that is more then just dictionary definitions)
  • Cranium
  • Pirate's Cove
  • Any game Frasier has
  • Clue (Mikes wants Simpsons version)
  • Gillateen (spelling?)
  • We want to try and get some games that are not just your normal board games; the ones you have to go to a specialty store to get. I think we are at a point in our lives where we want to take our "gaming" to the next level. That was cheesy I know but we just want to get some different games.

I have to say that the best part of playing games is the time spent with family. I know my body is now starting to reject all of those treats I ate while playing games with my family, but for the memories made, it was worth every bite!
