We have two 19 year old boys and a 16 year old (2 are mine, one lives with us).
We were looking for some new games to play with them on family night. Our usual go-to's are Dutch Blitz, Spades, Monopoly, or Apples to Apples. We just learned a new game with friends called Left Right Center which was fun and I want to buy. We played Cards Against Humanity at a friends house and the kids all loved it (since they're older it's not that big of a deal), but I haven't bought it yet.
What games do you play with your older kids to keep the family spending time together?

My grands, older and younger, still like to play UNO and Yahtzee. For the older ones, we also do Monopoly, Cards Against Humanity, a card game called Golf, Crazy Gin, Trivial Pursuit... oh, and Sorry! They still like that too.

My kids are 13 and 16 and still enjoy Monopoly, Trivial pursuit, and Sorry. As they have gotten older we got a foozball (I have no idea how to spell this) table that also doubles as a ping pong table and a dart board. We have tons of fun with those and have tournaments and challenges. If you have the room I would highly recommend a foozball table.
ETA - they also love Rummoli |

We seem to always stick to Monopoly, Jenga, Scrabble and UNO. We also do Wii together (mostly Mario Cart) and ping pong. We often combine the games with appetizers so they usually participate since its their dinner, too! Now we are spending more time outdoors we will either do a board game outside or play badminton or bocce ball. We also do a lot of family bonfires. I'd like to get a projector and do movies outdoors eventually.

We like Scattergories and SceneIt (specifically the Disney and Harry Potter versions). DD LOVES Cards Against Humanity, but I did remove the most offensive cards since she is 13.

Our latest favorite is Ticket to Ride. We have the Europe version with the expansion pack. Risk, Blokus, Clue and Monopoly are favorites as well.

We are hardcore Rummikub fans in my house. We play it every night as we eat dinner.

We play a lot of Cards Against Humanity (I have a 17 yr old), so depending on who else is playing, it might get awkward. But the recent fun game we discovered is Anomia. Fast to learn, fast to play, we all had a lot of fun. I originally only had 2 decks of cards but we liked it so much I ordered the deluxe with 6 decks. Pam |

My teen boys of about that age LOVE Settlers of Catan. There are various expansion sets, etc., as well.
