About this list:

I love games - they are a great way to get away from the television and interact with the folks you care about. Plus, they teach good social skills and abstract thinking, something we all need no matter what our age!

BANANAGRAMS GAME

Description

We keep this game handy for rainy days at our house. It's fun to play and is really good for slightly older kids all the way through adults. It's a staple of our board game nights. (via Coppin's Hallmark)

LCR Dice Game

First to recommend

Description

never heard of LCR? It's a great party game where players start with 3 chips (or quarters, or dollars, etc) and roll the dice. For each L they roll, they pass one token to the left, R means pass to the right, C means it goes into the Center (aka the pot). If you get a dot, you get to hang on to your token. Simple game, loads of fun.

Mille Bornes Collectors Edition

First to recommend

Description

This is one of those classic card games that I'd always heard about and never played until recently. I love it!!! I hate that it took me so long to discover it for myself. Mille Bornes is French for "1,000 Milestones" or 1,000 miles. The game is set up like a road race - complete with distance cards, hazards, remedys (for the hazards) and safety cards. The goal is to be the first to play exactly 1,000 miles during a hand. No more, no less. It looked daunting to learn, but was really very simple. I highly recommend it.
It can be played by 2, 3, 4 or 6 people. When played by 4 or 6, it's played in teams of 2. These cards feature the original 1962 artwork.

SENSEABILITY GAME

Description

a game that uses all your senses - listen and guess how many balls in a box, test your reflexes, recognize things by touch.. etc. Sounds like a great ice breaker for a party!!
