I always kick his butt in Phase 10, but we come out about even in Trivial Pursuit. <br/><br/>My brothers and I and our families always gather at our Mom's house for every major holiday. After dinner is game time. Our all time family favorite is Mad Gab. It's absolutely hilarious and gets the entire family involved. My hubby and I play Phase 10 and Trivial Pursuit a lot.

We play a lot of Chutes and Ladders, Trouble, Hi Ho Cherrio, Checkers and Backgammon. <br/><br/>My daughter is almost 2, which makes it even harder, because she wants to help play and the pieces are still too small.<br/><br/>Us adults like Trivial Pursuit, Shout About Movies/Music, Pictionary, and Malarky.

Santa brings the family a new board game every Christmas - it's a tradition. We like Whoonu (a Cranium game), Jenga, Uno, and Sequence. Our favorite though is Dominoes. There are so many different ways you can play it but our favorite is one called Mexican Train. Even the 6 year old can play (he's really good, too!). During the school year we try to have a game night once a week. Low stress family time!<br/><br/>Jill We also love board games.
