Rousing conversation segwayed into a variety of games: The Piggy Game, Apples to Apples, Quelf, and the NFL playoff game(s). Yes, I let my guests watch the playoffs - a couple of the guys are not group/board game inclined which is fine. Football is a game too!
Okay, back the bus up...Piggy Game? Quelf? Apples to Apples? The Piggy Game involves nothing more than, well, rolling a couple of little piggies. How they land determines your points. As long as you don't "pig out", you can keep rolling. Once your piggies "pig out" then the next person goes. This is a fun game.
Apples to Apples is a popular card type game. The group holds a set number of red apple cards, while the judge picks a green apple card. The group then tosses a red apple card in a pile and the judge must pick one that best represents the green apple card. If the judge picks your card, you win the green apple! Then the next person next to be a judge. Person with the most green apples wins!
Quelf...not sure I can even describe this one after playing it! It's a board game and when you land on a colored square you pick a matching card. Some cards have you asking the group a question, some cards have you do something silly (like be a helicopter or wear a pot on your head), while other cards make the group do something silly. A good game once the rules are figured out and willingness to be a bit silly is mandatory.
My sincere thanks to all my fabulous guests! The husband and I had a splendid time and we hope you did too!

We have the piggy game and Apples to Apples. Our piggy game is called PigMania and it can get quite silly in a crowd of people.
Glad you had such a good game/birthday night. How could it be bad? There was cake with squiggley candles!
Happy birthday!
It looks like you all had a great time! My family and I have game nights often and they are so much fun. We play different games like board games or card games, we've even invested in Game Wheels and created little prizes to go along with it. There is really nothing like hanging out and enjoying your family!
