11 Friendsgiving Party Game Ideas That You’ll Actually Want To Play

Games were an integral part of our childhoods. Becoming an adult doesn't make them any less significant or fun. I'm pretty much still playing a round of Monopoly from when I was, like, ten years old. Friendsgiving is about sharing plates with your squad, but while you're all together why not turn it into game night? Especially when you have all the Friendsgiving party game ideas you need. It will at the very least be something to do before your tryptophan induced slumber strikes.

Is it just me or did games get more thrilling as we aged? I'm not talking Mario Kart to Call Of Duty. I'm talking gather around the coffee table games you would play with your family. It's not like after the pie is devoured you're all just going to sit around the coffee table on your phones, right? If you've already discussed the hot topics over side dishes, adding games to the night's itinerary could lead to laugh-out-loud moments that remind you why you're so grateful that these are the friends. And, isn't that the point of this holiday?
