Thanksgiving Party Games for Adults

The comforting smell of turkey, herbs, and pumpkin pie is wafting through the air. There's candles lit around the house and the warmth of the fire in the fireplace combined with the warmth within your family's hearts reminds you of Thanksgivings past. But after you and your family have eaten Thanksgiving dinner and Thanksgiving dessert, and after everyone has crashed on the couch and floor for an hour or so, what do you do with your time?

Maybe you could all play a Thanksgiving party game for adults. This is especially fun if the kids have already gone to bed and the adults are curling up in the living room with a bottle of wine. You'll want to also make sure that the football games are over, so that the hubbies' attention isn't trying to be shared with the TV.

A great Thanksgiving party game for adults (and really the whole family) is the "Thanksgiving Box of Questions", which I have listed below. This Thanksgiving party game for adults asks random questions that really get the ball rolling and gets everyone opening up with one another. Most likely, you'll be asked, "what are you thankful for?" at least once in this Thanksgiving party game for adults; however, isn't that what Thanksgiving is all about anyway?

Cranium is somewhat of a board game but is the perfcect and most entertaining Thanksgiving party game for adults on the market, in my opinion. With this Thanksgiving party game for adults, there is never a dull moment. Between switching back and forth between charades, pictionary, trivia, and clay-molding, you and your family will be laughing hysterically.

There are also Thanksgiving party games for adults such as Scattergories, Pictionary, and Monopoly.

Let us not forget about the classic game of Dominoes. Yes, it may seem like an old person's game, but it turns out that it is a really amusing Thanksgiving party game for adults and will keep your crew entertained for hours.
