This year has started out great! We've been getting to see family, who we normally only see maybe two times a year, every other weekend. We started game night many times and it goes for maybe a week or two then dies off. But this time it has been working out pretty well. This is the first weekend it hasn't happened, or if it does we wont be able to go due to we usually have it on Sundays, and this Sunday is my father-in-law's birthday party. But me and Alex did have a mini little game night with just my parents, since my dad hardly EVER gets to come to game night since he works Sunday's. But anyways it just was us two and my parents and then my future sister-in-law Beth. My brother had to work so he didn't come but it was nice that Beth was able to. We played for a couple hours ate some pizza and called it a night. It was a quiet evening but still enjoyable.
Normally for game night we switch between our house or my cousin Andreina's house. One weekend we had it at Andreina's parents house because the offered to house a Super Bowl/ Game night party. But we do it about every weekend, just switch houses. And normally it me and Alex, my mom and maybe dad, my cousin Liz, and her mom occasionally if she doesnt work, and my grandpa comes to watch he doesnt really play thought, and my cousin Andreina and her mom occasionally and sometimes her dad as well. We talked about adding in going bowling once a month in place of game night, since my grandpa LOVES to bowl and he hasn't bowled in a while and he really misses it.
On our list of typical game night games is Pictionary, Quelf, Scategories, Quesstures, Taboo and Uno, I think that most of them. Pictionary gets interesting depending what version we play and if we play with the alternative rules. Scategories is funny to see what answers people come up with. Quesstures is the best to watch people act out things. Taboo is fun as well and Uno just takes for ever but is funny watching people pick up hundreds of cards and a rush to go out. The best is probably Quelf... it a new game and is so funny. You laugh your ass off and people have to do completely stupid things but it is a great game. :)
