I'm looking to add some fun games to our house. We played Rummikube over Thanksgiving and that was fun. We also like Sequence. I need something that is good for clean family fun. Any suggestions? My husband would appreciate trivia suggestions.

kid friendly too?
We love Wits and Wagers (trivia and betting) and Telestrations (like telephone and pictionary combined). Not kid friendly but very family friendly.

Apples to Apples is my fave!
-
Our favorite trivia games are:
Logo (trivia about brands and their logos, mottos, commercials, etc. Its really fun!)
Trivial Pursuit Bet You Know It (there is a betting element and you can win wedges on every try, and even "buy" wedges or advantages. Plus, I think the questions are better - not as esoteric as I remember regular TP to be!)
I'm not sure either is super kid friendly, but definitely family friendly. We played both with my parents and brother at Thanksgiving, and we were all able to participate with the trivia. I was worried some might have too many things that were before DH, my brother and I were born (after a bad experience with Sport Scene It), but they definitely spanned the generations!

It's not a trivia game, but Ticket to Ride is a great game. We have both the USA and Europe versions. It is fun for adults and older children (maybe 8 and up).

@mrs. wagon: it will just be for adults.
-
@mediagirl: Phase 10?

We love Mrs. Wagon's suggestions! - we have have those games and love them with groups of friends and family.
I have one "Game of Things" - this could be kid friendly if people don't write adult themed answers... and you can skip the adult themed topics.
It's basically a stack of cards... that will say things like "Things you shouldn't do while driving"
Then everyone will write something down and hand it to a reader and the reader reads all the answers outloud and people have guesses who wrote what ... I'm just giving a brief way to play... there is more but I'm not going to type it all out.
As you can see... if you have some... people that think "adult" answers are funny ... and some things you shouldn't do while driving... can be um.. interesting... but if you have a rule to keep it clean that should be fine.
I like this game because you can really get to know people by their answer... Like one of my relatives really likes reading on her kindle and so like 50% of her answers were about her kindle like ... her answer for "things you shouldn't do while driving" - Reading on the kindle!

@Raindrop: We have that game and I LOVE it!
I'd also second Telestrations - it's seriously one of the most fun games!
-
@dagret: I think we may have that somewhere! I like that one.
@Raindrop: great description, thank you!
@NCSUchick27: interesting. I may see if our friends have that one.
@mrs scrapbook: Logo sounds like great fun!
@mrs. wagon: I think we may get Wits and Wagers. That is my idea of a trivia game. -
Smart Ass! It's a great, family fun trivia game.
-
I was going to suggest Phase 10 too, but you already have that.
