Great family board games for a long weekend
We’re excited for Thanksgiving this week.
We love that Thanksgiving comes near the end of the year and before we move into the Christmas holiday and New Year resolutions. Why? Because Thanksgiving* gives us a chance to pause and think about all our blessings. And with it being near the end of the year, we naturally reflect back on our blessing for the year. It also helps us put things in perspective and in a giving mindset to those we love and those less fortunate than ourselves.

Do you have enough board games?
Are your kids tired of playing the same board games and card games over and over?
When someone suggests playing Monopoly, Life, Scrabble, or UNO yet again, does everyone turn and run out the door screaming or cower in a corner mumbling strange things?
It’s not to say that you can’t have fun with your family playing these games, but if they’re the only games you have to choose from when someone wants to play a game, then we’d suggest you consider expanding your options.
Because board games and card games are all about social interaction, the best board game really depends on the settings and players.
