Taboo.  Very fun word game where you get your teammate(s) to guess a word without using the taboo words.

Example:  the clue is lipstick
              the taboo words that you can't use are:  makeup, face, mouth, red.

Real game:  a friend of mine stammered a bit, and eventually said, "you use this to paint your labia". (she's a doctor). This was 15 years ago and we still tease her about it.



Played that before. forgot about this one. This can be a fun family game. Thanks!

I always loved the classics like Monopoly, Scrabble and Clue.

Remember Mrs. Peacock?  :D

Mrs. Peacock was one of the characters in Clue!

There was Professor Plum, Miss Scarlet, Mrs. Peacock.. I can't remember all the names now.

I think there was a Col. Mustard too!

It's been a long time since I played Clue. Maybe I should play it again this Christmas or New Year's Eve!  8)

Was Mrs. Whie the chef?  Oddly, or whatever, I was watching The Return of the Secaucus Seven tonight, and in it they play Clue.

I agree with Cranium, Scattergories, Taboo.  Even just plain old charades and pictionary with no more accoutrements than the back of an envelope and a stub of a pencil can be hilarious.  Especially, as has been said, after ACOAB.  :)

Can we play games like these in Denver and Alberta?

Cranium is one of my very favorite games (even without adult beverages ;)). Also fun is a game called (I believe) Hoopla. I think it's made by the same company that made Cranium. Everyone works together to guess lots of clues before the timer runs out, but you have to do it in different ways. If I remember correctly, one is where you have to make people guess by saying what the thing is between (i.e. bigger than a coin, smaller that a dinner plate). For another, you give clues to the thing using all words that start with the same letter. I don't think I explained that well, but it's really fun.

Great Idea Geri we discovered and played this game on Thanksgiving.  It was a blast even the 6 and 10 year old could play along.  I also understand it comes in a Junior and Marvel Comics version and runs around $50.  Expensive I know but it was so much fun for us ALL and held everyone's attention

Scene It? DVD Board Game

Powered by two fully loaded DVDs, Scene It? It's exploding with real movie clips, trivia questions and myriad of mutated puzzlers, guaranteed to pack one heck of a punch. If you’re a fan of the movies, this DVD game will put your trivia knowledge to the ultimate test.

addendum...another one our family loves is Balderdash, that one can be play in teams.


Dot,  just want to let you know I bought this game ( Scene It)  for a family Christmas present. You were right!  It is so much fun!    We have played it a few times now and we really had a blast.  Great idea. Thanks!

Also , there are some other suggestions here that I want to try too.
