Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
What are your favorite games to play with the light gamers or gaming disinclined in your family? Anything from the travel games you play like I Spy, to playing Tag with the kids, to Poker.

The adults in mine usually play Train dominoes. Occasionally we'll break out the poker chips though.

The kids like to play the venerable hide & seek or tag. Usually I end up having to find them or chase them down to wear them all out.

Uhhh usually a trivia game or something. I have a job where I work on almost every holiday so there's not much I can do.

Uncomfortable silence is a family tradition.

This ain't boardgames general so shoo.

Unless the board games thread is your family in which case rock on.

Mine plays the game where we argue politics and see how long it takes someone to shut us up with food.

Jokes on them this year though. I'm on a diet this time.

Sometimes mom plays through Zelda and Zelda 2 and sitting back with a drink and watching a 55 year old woman halfway speed run them is entertainment enough

Half the people here are playing phone games. The casual revolution has begun, and my family is on the front line!

What are you even booing here?

Uno is big but my wife's family also busts out some weird Hearts Rummy mat and there are pennies and I never know what the gently caress is happening. It's pretty good. I get them family feels.

It does own because that woman is probably better at Zelda 2 than I ever intend to be.

yeah back in the day my mom could beat mega man two and three but I bet if I handed her a controller now she couldn't even make it through metal man's stage it is good that his mom has kept her Gaming Skills sharp

I played pool with my brother and step-brother. It was okay. They're both dangerously close to normies, though.
