So as the title suggests this will be my first time hosting xmas for my parents and sibblings (I wanted to give my Mum and Dad a break)

Ive got all the food n other crap locked down but some suggestions of games to play with the family would be handy as I dont wanna spend hours and hours watching all the usual xmas films.

So any of you guys got some ideas?

Doesnt have to be a video game just as long as it is a game

That's a tough one, but it would be funny if you somehow "accidentally" slipped in Manhunt.

I'd go with Cards Against Humanity if you got it, but I'm not sure if that's really the best suggestion.

Just go with Apples to Apples if it's actually kids. CAH is great, but it's more adult themed then you'd probably want kids under 12 or so playing.

I do have CAH but Id probably have to go through the deck and take out some of the ruder ones. Don't have any kids under 12 but still I don't want things getting weird....like if my sister decides to play 'tentacle porn'

Guess I'll be the first not to write in a joke answer.

Castle Crashers, Little Big Planet, Portal 2 co-op, or just about any kart racer

oh wait, not just video games? Ticket To Ride is great. Easy to learn, and everybody loves trains. I've played it with lots of people, and everyone seems to enjoy it.

Mario Party is a lot of fun when played with other people.

my sisters and I still play MP2 from time to time. We're all over 18 and we have a great time.

On second thought, I don't know what y'all are into, do as you feel!

But seriously you shouldn't

Got it in four posts. We can do better next time.

Buy a pool table. And then don't have anywhere to put it, because you live in a small apartment.

"What? Did that happened to me? No, of course not, who gave you that idea?"

Yeah that would probably be best then. Just clean it up a little bit.

ohhh god dammit why does all other kinect games have to be total shit making buying a kinect almost completely invalid XD I would totally love to play Happy Action Theater but don't have a Kinect or enough room to actually use a kinect. That would be a ton of fun ....fuck! Ok I need to find a bigger flat before xmas.

LBP is a great suggestion, I always love some Fish Bowl as well (the game where you everyone puts in a person, place and thing, and you have rounds with sounds, words associated and charades).
