What games do you like to play with your husband (or whoever)?

I'd like some recommendations.

I like Scattergories where you have various categories: books, kitchen items, things in a wallet etc. and you roll an A,B,C die and let's say you get the letter S, the players have 3 minutes to come up with things in those categories that start with that letter.

Boggle is okay too.

What else?

Fast games. Word games. Not Scrabble.

we like taboo, although you need 4 people (at least) to play. Also we play backgammon a lot.

Blokus is fun. Also Ingenious if you like abstract strategy games.
For a group, we like Apples to Apples.

Oh,and I'm addicted to Soduku... My boss went to Japan years ago and bought a book of them for me before it was "cool". I just have very little time for that kind of thing now.

morningstar, I'm just like you Smile

we absolutely love blokus, and apples to apples is our second favorite for a group.
Another great game is Quiddler- it's from the makers of set.
it's kinda like a mix of scrabble and rummykub.

I don't like chinese checkers bec. I never win..

I don't play it often, but whenever I do I don't win...
Maybe I don't know all the tricks.. I never played it when I was younger.

I grew up playing rummy with my mom. I tought it to my kids at an early age. I now play it with my 6 yr old.
My husband plays Mile Bornes with my sons.

Anyone remember the game Stay Alive? A neighbor had it and I used to love playing it.

And then there are times when all I play are memory cards and Chutes and ladders, candyland, and all the games my daughter loves.

Nobody's mentioned pictionary yet. I'm horrible at drawing pictures, but I still love the game anyway, it's SO much fun to see how people draw things!

Does anyone like twister? it;s the huge mat with colored circles, and you have to place your arms and legs on them and get all twisted up! I'm not such a big fan!

Isn't twister a little too hard to play with only your spouse? I can imagine a family picnic enjoying it though!!
