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).</p>
<p>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&#8217;s <a href="http://www.themorningnews.org/archives/guides/the_2005_good_gift_games.php">2005 list of Good Gift Games</a> off The Morning News. And then we found Baldwin&#8217;s supplemental list of Good Gift Games <a href="http://www.defectiveyeti.com/archives/001525.html">at his website</a>. We think his &#8220;all time Goog Gift Game (G3), <a href="http://www.funagain.com/control/product/~product_id=001167/~affil=YETI">The Settlers of Catan</a> sounds intriguing.</p>
<p>But we also asked our friends, and they gave us an eyeful:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/funkaliciouslj/">funkaliciouslj</a>: Trivial Pursuit, <strong>Taboo</strong>, Dominoes, Uno, Pictionary, Chutes and Ladders</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/twosnoos/">twosnoos</a>: SET [which we love] and Wise or Otherwise</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/doctortina/">doctortina</a>: confirmed SET, Clue, UNO, Pit, Balderdash, Taboo (Celebrity Edition), and Boggle</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/vintagehandbag/">vintagehandbag</a>: Map Tangle and Fact or Crap</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/just_jeff/">just_jeff</a>: Boggle!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/stefan11/">stefan11</a>: Chess</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/mojodragonfly/">mojodragonfly</a>: Risk</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/wretchmuffin/">wretchmuffin</a>: Stratego</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/noromdiam/">noromdiam</a>: Shift Tac Toe</p>
<p><a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/kangaroosequins/">kangaroosequins</a>: Apples to Apples</p></blockquote>
<p>Taboo, SET, Boggle, and Apples to Apples were recommended twice (A to A was on Baldwin&#8217;s list).</p>
