Game Night at the Taco House

We Tacos love games. Though, admittedly, we have tended to stick to a few favorties aver the years: Scrabble, Monopoly, Trival Pursuit, and Cranium (when we can get enough willing people about).

But the holidays are upon us, and that means family, so we went searching around for new and fun games. First, we got Matthew Baldwin’s 2005 list of Good Gift Games off The Morning News. And then we found Baldwin’s supplemental list of Good Gift Games at his website. We think his “all time Goog Gift Game (G3), The Settlers of Catan sounds intriguing.

But we also asked our friends, and they gave us an eyeful:

funkaliciouslj: Trivial Pursuit, Taboo, Dominoes, Uno, Pictionary, Chutes and Ladders

twosnoos: SET [which we love] and Wise or Otherwise

doctortina: confirmed SET, Clue, UNO, Pit, Balderdash, Taboo (Celebrity Edition), and Boggle

vintagehandbag: Map Tangle and Fact or Crap

just_jeff: Boggle!

stefan11: Chess

mojodragonfly: Risk

wretchmuffin: Stratego

noromdiam: Shift Tac Toe

kangaroosequins: Apples to Apples

Taboo, SET, Boggle, and Apples to Apples were recommended twice (A to A was on Baldwin’s list).
