The Thanksgiving thread got me wondering if any one on here likes to play card and board games.  Not really the ones in Target and Walmart like phase 10 and Monopoly but games from Days of Wonder, Fantasy Flight or Asmodee to name a few.   www.fantasyflightgam es.com/edge_coleccio nes.asp?eidc=1http:/ /www.daysofwond out Tabletop on youtube. www.youtube.com/resu lts?search_query=Tab letop&sm=12W e have been enjoying:Elder SignMunchkinGloomThe ResistanceWe are getting Ticket to Ride soon and looking at Shadows over Camelot from Days of Wonder.From Fantasy Flight we have our eye on The Adventurers: Horus and Kingsburg.  Yeah my geek is showing but I get tired of sitting in front of the TV or playing computer games. 4951

@topcat: There are some pretty silly/funny games on the Asmodee link.  You should also Look at,  Once Upon a Time, Munchkin (very funny), and Dixit.  They all on Tabletop so you can watch them played.

We love games, but don't play them very often anymore.  I'll have to break them out today I think.  Thanks for the idea. 4951

@Nurse3: Check out games not sold in Big Box stores.  If you like games you will love the specialty ones.  They have better themes, smoother play mechanics, and are more interesting so you don't get bored with them as fast.

@KTownTexican: I agree with the electronic options it takes a lot more to keep kids interetested.  I have had a lot better luck keeping mine interested and engaged with the specialty games.  The game makers I linked to are good as well as Steve Jackson Games and Zman games. I suggest looking up games on youtube and watching how they are played before purchasing.   My sons favorite right now is Mission Red Planet.  It is out of print unfortunately but I heard they may be doing a reprinting.  He is also a big fan of anything Munchin by Steve Jackson.

On Thanksgiving Day we played Star Wars Trouble.    It's better than the average Trouble.  R2D2 makes the game much more exciting with his R2D2 sounds! 4951
