Games to play: Thanksgiving Edition – Party games

With (Canadian) Thanksgiving happening next weekend, we’ve decided to compile a list of games that would be great to play with family and friends. The topic will be broken down into several posts, this one focusing on Party games.

Anomia

3 – 6 players, 30 mins, ages 10+
If your Thanksgiving dinners are often a loud and rambunctious affair, follow up with an equally boisterous game of Anomia. Players take turns flipping cards from the center pile to reveal a symbol and a category. If the symbol matches the symbol on another player’s card, face-off by naming items in the given category. Play with kids and the game eventually becomes a fanfare of random words. Fast, furious, and remarkably loud.

No one actually plays charades in real life but we are led to believe that it happens when the family gets together. Concept is a practical version of charades without all that silly miming. The game board is full of icons and symbols for you to “mime” the thing, action or “metaphysical construct” you are trying to describe. Place colour cubes on the icons to group your thoughts. Like hearding cats, direct the other players to say the words on the card for points. Points to you for successfully describing your concept. Points to the player for understanding your mad flailings.

Wits & Wagers
3-7 players, 25 mins, ages 10+
Prove once and for all you know more useless information than your brother-in-law. Wits & Wagers is a trivia betting game. Each round presents a question with a numeric answer. Players write down what they think is the correct answer and everybody places bets on what they think is the correct (or most correct) answer. Obscure questions make actual knowledge irrelevant.

That’s it for now. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving games topic: Young families.
