Fun Family Games - Mexican Train Dominoes and others

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Our family game night was one I looked forward to when I was younger. We all would pull up a chair around our kitchen table, make ice cream floats and play cards. It was a great time together.

Being a busy family of 6, we tended to go our separate ways a lot. So this was instrumental in reconnecting with each other. Because my husband’s family had the same fun times, we decided before we started our family to also implement this activity too.

The problem we soon found was how to find games that everyone could play. With an age span of 7 years, our 15 year old was not so keen in playing Go Fish all the time, nor could our 8 year old play Risk. How do we solve this dilemma?

The Survey Says - The Solutions

Of course, I do have a couple of suggestions!! We discovered a very fun game last year called Mexican Train dominos. Easy to learn, fun to play and several people can play - good for a family of 7 and always a few strangling friends around. The dominos rules for Mexican Train we learned are different than the ones that came in the game (look at our website for how we play), but it worked best for our group.
