apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

"Big, fat goalie!"

I love this episode.

We have a Twister championship... and the winner gets a Hot Wheels car.

Even against my 4 bendy sons... Mommy always wins. Woot!!

Taboo.

Crazy fun.

It's all about Apples to Apples.

That was a funny episode! I second apples to apples!

We have a monthly team-scrabble game with our friends, which includes dinner. We rotate hosting, and the host choses the dinner theme and serves an entree. Guests bring side dishes, desert, and wine to support the theme.

We usually chat, then eat, then play -- the evening goes from about 7:00 pm to midnight.

Occassionally we mix it up and change the game. For the holidays we had a white elephant, and the "game" was stealing gifts. We also play pictionary but throw out the board and team overhead. Someone draws on a giant wall post-it, and the person who identifes the concept goes next. The more wine you have, the more fun that particuar game gets....

It usually turns into game night any time we have people over for dinner.

Loaded Questions provides answers you (or your friends or family) will have to live with for the rest of your life. Its hilarious and always fun. Apples to Apples is great too.

jenga is fun and poker

Apples to Apples, Balderdash, poker, SceneIt, Sequence - all fun, but can depend on who is there. ImagineIf was fun too, though I've only played it once. We also played a game called Liebrary that was a ton of fun. I think having friends over and playing a game is way more fun than any restuaurant. We need to do it more often.

POP 5 from the Cranium folks, always hilarious.

You choose if the opposing team should get more points to hum or act or draw or do a password style clue, for topics like TV, songs, fads, etc. If you know your opponents well it is great fun to force the tone deaf person to try and hum the theme to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Haha, I'm going to a game night at a friend's house tonight. Yeah... we're playing the BSG game. :P

We have a game night every week (usually Friday or Sunday), restricted to people who actually enjoy playing games. We're in the Settlers franchise/Arkham Horror/Railroad Tycoon/Carcassonne/etc. set.

One of the all time best episodes!


"He's a . . . transponster!"

Ooh ooh, what's the BSG game?

Cranium, Balderdash, Apples to Apples, The Game of Things, and What's Yours Like?...

love em all! Sooo Fun!! (:

Favorite all time group game (especially if you play with creative, funny people): Balderdash. Tip: get the updated version that has five categories, not the original with just word definitions.

Runners-up:
-- Apples to Apples
-- Catch Phrase
-- Taboo
-- and an obscure one for media geeks: Tabloid Teasers (http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/781)

My friends and I play mafia (sometimes called Werewolf) once every other week. All you need is a deck of cards to play! It gets intense, but never fails to be a ton of fun.

Apples to Apples or Settlers of Catan! My friends and I do game nights often. We also play charades or Celebrity.

I love catch phrase! it makes me really competitive, though...

old fashioned charades is good for getting people up and moving. I also love speed scrabble for a quieter evening.

My family and I LOVE playing games. One of our favorites has always been Loaded Questions. It's always fun guessing who said what and learning more about everyone you think you know so well. When I was in high school (about 5 years ago) me and my friends used to wait for my parents to get tired of playing and then we'd think of more scandalous questions to ask each other...:)

what is apples to apples have I been living in a cave? not being a big game person except cards this is new. Explain please.

We have "No Technology Tuesday" every week at my house which normally turns into game night. We play bananagrams, which is an awesome alternative to scrabble. It uses your vocabulary less, but quicker.

We used to have game night every Friday before we moved. Scattergories was always our favorite!

Miss. Chanandler Bong!
my fake email name!!!
i miss my friends... the show!

i love love games! every once in a while we will have a cranium night and snacks. its always so much fun i wonder why we dont do it more often!!!

we had a poker tournament party last weekend. It was fun!

other games we like:
-tribond
-mad gab.
-amazing labyrinth

when it's just 2 of us it's Othello or Scrabble.

My Tribe loves games. While we do not have a regular game night, several of us do host them throughout the year. Favorites seem to be Apples to Apples, Fluxx, Hoopla, and Settlers of Catan.

Some of us meet twice monthly to play Dungeons and Dragons and many of us cooperatively play video games. DDR parties are lots of fun too!

skye

CRAINIUM!!!!!!

Dominoes!! My friends and I play about once a month in the winter. Sometimes we eat out first, but we always stop after a middle round and eat homemade dessert! We've been doing this for years now.

My roommates and I go head to head with a rival apartment about once a month. Nothing formal just wine and games. We rotate between CatchPhrase (best. game. ever), Baulderdash, Carnium or a combo of them. Although we are very competitive and there is often trash talking and end zone dancing, we rarely get through an entire game as our wine consumption/socializing to playing ratio is totally uneven. Always fun and you can do it in sweat pants if you like to be comfortable!

Monopoly for my family!

I have house rabbits, and when my boyfriend and I got the chess board out last week, they both came right over and started chucking pieces off the board! So cute (although they obeyed when I told them to stop).

Carcassonne = divorce in a box! My boyfriend and I can NOT play this game nicely.

It's all about Hex Hex. Best game i have ever played with a group of people. we're busy spreading the trend like wildfire! HEX HEX!

Skye I never though thought I would see a D&Der on here! Awesome!!!!!

Believe it or not, one of the best game nights my buds and I ever had was a Spongebob Squarepants UNO tourny! Special Edition UNO always has an extra wild card that makes the game 10 times longer and more complicated -- we had a freakin' blast.

We play a lot of Ticket to Ride and Carcassonne at my house.

If its a big group we really like Time's Up.
