Board games during the holiday season are a tradition as old as time. But, long gone are the days of playing family endless hours of Monopoly, Scattergories with stick-figure artists, or Connect Four (pretty sneaky, sis!).
Today’s board games are a little snarkier, quite a bit funnier, and interactive (get your cell phones ready). Here are 10 board games you can play with your kids over the holidays that won’t leave them drawing blanks or bankrupt.
Really Karen?
Become a Karen as you see something and say something at every turn to the detriment of your fellow players.

The classic game of "What am I?" is now back with all-new cards, headbands, and art. It’s as easy as Pick, Place, Play! Pick your favorite headband (6 new themes to choose from!) and take a picture card without looking at the face of the card. Put the headband on and place the card in the headband so the illustration is facing all players. Then, play by asking questions with “yes” and “no” answers as you try to guess what’s on your card! It’s a race against the clock to be the first player to get three scoring badges to win. | Get it
