Some of the best family memories happen right after dinner, when somebody pulls out a game and the phones go down. Everybody already knows Monopoly and Sorry, so this is a list of newer board games and party games most families have never tried, the ones we pull out again and again at family gatherings, on Labor Day, and through the fall and Christmas holidays. I grouped them so you can find the right one fast: big-group games for the whole room, family game night picks, quick games to play between courses, cooperative team games so nobody ends up in a feud, and a few two-player games for after the kids are down. They are all easy to find at Target and Walmart. If one lands on your table this season, tell me how it went. More at asknatefreeman.com.
