Cranium is a fun game.

I"ve never played it, but my game-playing DD and her family love Hoopla.

Got Cranium. Is Hoopla another Cranium game? Going to Google it.
Any others?

Janga is a good one, oh sorry its not a board game. How about that pictureak?

Check out Funglish........

I bought Taboo because Ellen Degeneres says it's great fun. Others have since told me the same thing. (I haven't tried it yet.)

And a friend recently told me about a good game that works like the old game of Telephone, except rather than whispering in the next person's ear you draw a picture of the word. I suppose it would help if I could remember the name of the game. :-)

Alisande You will LOVE Taboo! We've played that also! Really fun!

Thanks! I'm looking forward to inviting friends over to play (Cranium, too) in the new year. My dining table seats only six.....is that enough?

My favorites are:

Scattegories
Apples to Apples
Balderdash
Taboo
Cranium
Pictionary
Scrabble
Battleship

we love to play Farkle and the Left Right Center game (LRC) they are both dice games very inexpensive and fun!! I think Target sells both of them but I think I got mine at Walgreens...

I like Mexican Train and Tripoli.

I like Scrabble, Rummikub, Trivial Pursuit and Aggravation.

WORD ON THE STREET..... good for any age.. really fun

Holy toledo! Off to Google again! LOL Thanks all!

Apples to apples is super fun, and it's really cheap. I saw it for 12.99 somewhere.

Some good games mentioned. I'm another one who enjoys Scattergories, Pictionary, Tripoly, Balderdash and Scrabble.

Apples to Apples is our favorite! We recently played another one called What's Yours Like?.

I love Taboo and some of the others named here.

One that no one mentioned, and that isn't a board game but is fun for a group, is Catch Phrase. We play that all the time, and it's so much fun.

I just picked up Smart A$$ at Chapters. Unfortunately, my kids are just a bit too young to play it. I peeked through it and like it so far. Another game I love is Mad Gab.

We've played the "Fact or Crap" game. It's OK.
Scattergories is good for a lot of people. Outburst is fun, as it's easy for all to play. IF no one argues over who answered first! LOL

Oh my I will be broke trying to buy these!
They all sound good!!!
How am I ever going to choose? LOL

Another vote for Apples to Apples....we play it often...and do a lot of laughing.

I have the regular game and my daughter has the junior game of it...they both play about the same.

Pictionary Man is a lot of fun too...

We have Friday night family game night quite often.
