Apples to Apples is fun. *NM* Mossman Send a noteboard - 17/01/2010 06:18:19 PM
...and by adult, I don't mean sex or drinking games. I just mean not kiddy games.

My mother's partner had a mild heart attack on Xmas. Two days later, she had quintuple by-pass surgery. She's home from the hospital now, but she's bored out of her mind. She just can't do very much yet - doctor's orders.

I thought I would get some board games to take to their house and play. My mom and her partner wouldn't like the same games that I already have...like trivial pursuit, scrabble, etc.

I guess I'm thinking more along the lines of party games? Light, fun, easy-to-play games.

Any suggestions?

Apples to Apples and Catchphrase are both great. *NM* - 17/01/2010 10:38:23 PM 514 Views
Gah, double post. *NM* - 17/01/2010 02:58:26 PM 256 Views
Monopoly, Parcheesi, Pente, Risk, Life, Settlers of Catan, Clue...there are tons of games like that. *NM* - 17/01/2010 03:27:38 PM 244 Views
Settlers is a great game. It's a little unorthodox, but a lot of fun. High replayability, too. *NM* - 17/01/2010 09:07:45 PM 209 Views
I don't know about "light" and "easy to play", though. *NM* - 17/01/2010 09:38:56 PM 244 Views
Very much agreed. - 17/01/2010 10:26:43 PM 481 Views
