Flash Back Friday - Family Gaming - What Do You Play on the Holidays?
Its the day after Thanksgiving, and yesterday, after clearing the plates from our feast, our family played Scattergories, Cockroach Poker and Heck Meck. When I was a kid, it would have been Monolpoly, Dominos or Blackjack. In later years these games were replaced by Trivial Pursuit and Pictionary. The games we play after holiday feasts may have changed, but the fun we have hasn't.
Do you play games with family on Thanksgiving? If so what do you play?

We also have already gotten in a full campaign of Space Marine Adventures. Forbidden Sky, and Vegas.
Probably at least one 4 player game of Gaslands is in the offering over the weekend as well.

The day after Black Friday is EVIL SATURDAY in the NeonPeon household, on which I try to round up the largest group I can at my house for the most epic gaming we can handle. This year we're up to the 11th annual EVIL SATURDAY Game Day. Unfortunately for reasons I don't understand, interest has waned in the last couple of years, and it looks like this year the group is just going to be me, my son (10 years old) and my best friend. I used to get about 8-10 friends and family members. One time eight of us played a special Dungeonquest map that supports eight players, made by someone on BGG and it was a blast. This year the three of us may put Fury of Dracula on the table, but mostly we'll play it by ear. I'd like to try Dune, which I just procured this year, but I'm thinking we'll want more players for that.

I started him off last night with a couple of mono Rookie decks, but this kid is some kind of prodigy. I take him out to shoot a bow, he’s bullseyeing ever third arrow. We play Rock Band, he plays the absolute hardest drum charts and 90%+ then. So he picked up on MTG right away and I moved him up to the more complex battle decks right away. He got the idea of playing ramp and control decks without missing a beat.
So much fun...I think I hooked him on it he’s definitely a Dimir (UB) player.

Codenames Duet
Crossing
The Mind
The Game
Welcome To
The Mind and The Game were the most played.
My mother in law enjoys Rummikub (as do I) but I was napping when it got played. There's often Canasta as well. Qwixx was a hit last year but didn't get played this year.
