Basically the title. Do you play games with your family over the holidays and if yes what kind of?
I have my Xbox Series X at my parents house because I lend it to my brother so he could play starfield on release and he brought it here.
Just bought Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and because of the stormy weather here in germany there is nothing else to do, so we are playing terroist hunt in splitscreen together with my two brothers all day long in between the quality time with my parents and eating.
Such an amazing game and just like the old days. The Xbox is really the perfect retro console imho!
Yes, and they are real games. We just played ‘Exploding Kittens’, and yesterday, we played ‘Tichu’.
I only play the Tichu when I have a cold.
Board games here too! Lots of Terraforming Mars and Ticket to Ride
Exploding Kittens is so good. Take a look at the expansions if you haven’t already. They add a ton of new cards that really add to the experience.
Thanks! I’ll have a look!
What would be a fake game?
Playing online games with your family while everyone is at home. You can’t be more fake than that.
Some retro-gaming with my son using two bluetooth gamepads and RetroArch on the Chromecast with Google TV.
Easy to carry in the luggage, and no Internet required.
What has become our holiday tradition is Jackbox.
Nothing beats MarioKart with the nieces and nephews
MarioKart starts getting violent later in the evening once the liquor is flowing.
We played a few rounds of Jackbox last night with my mom and brother. My daughter and I got in a little Super Mario World this afternoon and we played a round of Pokemon TCG. I kicked her ass pretty bad. She wasn’t really happy about that. Even though we’re both just learning, I have decades of Magic and Hearthstone under my belt. 😂 She’ll get me eventually!
My family can’t get on my level 😂
I play doctor and nurse with my wife. Does that count?
Judges? Ding ding. They’ll allow it!
Because of the way steam changed family share my wife and I don’t play together much anymore.
Crawl is a holiday tradition in our house! I know it’s on PC and Switch, not sure what else though.
Oh yes, played a bunch of Horror games over the weekend with my cousins . Outlast 2 was a highlight and Soma. Also It takes two was great but I decided playing with the wife might be more fun back home.
Its called “Putting up with your racist southener side of the family” and its easily the worst game of the year.
I kid. Its Board Games time when i’m with family and last year I got them hooked on Fluxx.
I got my wife to play Mario Wonder and we are currently playing some old school NES Super Mario 2 & 3. Life is good.
