We are all retired and may get together for a game afternoon or evening. I am not a game player. We do however have a few games (haven't been touched in years).
What board games and/or card games do you enjoy?
Any and all suggestions appreciated!

We’ve been playing Blokus and Qwirkle lately - I think both are fun.

We laughed our heads off at Charty Party. It’s a game where you are given an x-axis of a graph, and have to supply the y-axis. Very funny and only takes about 30 minutes per game. If any of you are math or data geeks, it’s a winner.

Has anyone played Telestrations? I just found it on Amazon. The reviews are pretty good.

Ransom Notes is hysterical for a group of adults. Last time we played I laughed so hard my kids became quite alarmed! 😂
I played Splendour at Christmas and really enjoyed it. I’m not into learning lots of rules and devising strategy, but I was surprised how easy this one was to pick up.
ETA: We're All Gonna Die was also great fun.

Codenames is a fun game for that amount of people.

I love the old standby for adults ... Cards Against Humanity ... I have a sick sense of humour!  |

I ended up buying it for our family. We like Qwirkle, Baloney, and Joking Hazard/Cards Against Humanity (but you really have to know your audience with those 😆). |

We picked up Goat Lords and played it at Christmas. Ridiculous, easy, and fun.

We played Flamecraft on NYE and enjoyed it a lot. It is a combination of chance and strategy and there’s enough to it to change the game up with every play. The first play was a little long, but we really got into the strategy of it.

classics uno, pictionary or trouble (only 4 for trouble)
we also love unusual deaths (2-6 players). someone reads a card and you have to determine if someone actually died that way or not.
we have placed telestrations once and really liked it!

Has anyone played Telestrations? I just found it on Amazon. The reviews are pretty good. This was one I was coming to recommend. It is fun but I haven’t played in a while because I don’t think my dh likes it as much as I do. Over the holidays we played the classic trivial pursuit. It was an updated edition but the classic categories. (I got it at Target last month.) Everyone including my 12 yo ds, dd and her husband, dh, and friends enjoyed playing it. |

We don't use the dice though. Instead, we each pick a word off of the card we draw so it's not quite so hard. We also just got Azul and love it. I think it's 2-4 players though. |
