I havent played this one but it seems like it's a trick taking game with no board talking allowed.  Looks really fun!

Great for restaurants or long car drives!  You are given a topic, you are given a side, and then you have to change everyone's mind.

I have not played the holiday version because I just bought this. But it looks super fun and something I might be able to win.

We havent' started this one yet because it looks like an adventure even though the box claims it can be played in a short amount of time.

An easy, fun, quick game.  You are trying to get the coin in the hole!  What could be more simple?  It's not as easy as it looks though.

We havent started this one yet either. For much the same reasons as 7 Wonders. It's a big undertaking and we've been into short games lately.  This one involves a lot of logic and thinking so perfect for the big minds in your family!

LOVE these lock room games.  I've solved another of their games but so far haven't been able to get anyone to play this one with me.  Will have to break it out and ask for help solving it.

We havent started this one (same reasons as the MMC) but we have solved another of their mysteries. It was really fun but quite challenging until we got a feel for the game and the directions it leads you in.

This one looks so fun but we need a lot of a sunday to play this one.  I think my 17 year old son will love it the most and I'll be confused.

Really fun crime solving game. It's fortunately set up so you can buy additional games that go with it and get a lot of game play out of it.  We've been working on it for about three hours and have a decent idea of what's going on.  It's unique.

I'd been wanting this one for a while so when it went on sale over Prime Days, I snapped it up.  Sure hope someone will play this with me soon!

Did you know this was a game?!  It's similar to other styles of games where there is one person who is the judge and they decide which card best matches their card.  Easy and quick to play.

How cute is this?  We have a Bop it.  And if you've ever played it you know it's noisy and fun and you only want to play for about ten minutes.  But the kids want to constantly tap it and bop it and make it make noise.

I LOVE this game!  It's a trick taking game with different goals each round.  Most of them require you to never talk board.  Can be difficult.  But gets lot of laughs.

I'm having a lot of fun with this one…except the part where I lost box two and can't find it.  The send a new box every month and it has lots of manipulatives to pull you into the action.
