Our family mostly plays card games, but we also play Trivia games and Pictionary, Monopoly and Password.
It's nice to have a Family Game Night instead of everyone just staying on their media options and playing games separately. Or just watching TV. Families need to interact together and play together, in my humble opinion.
My children were not allowed to sit in front of a TV. We had a permanent volley ball net set up in the field in front of our house. We were the "champions" of the neighborhood. All the kids came to our yard to play volley ball in all seasons and in the summer we had a swimming pool that was always full of kids.
We had dance parties and sleep-overs for the kids. Our house was the place that was always busy and we invited friends to come over all the time. I miss that, now that my kids are grown. But, they still like to do those things and they remember all the fun times they had as children growing up
We also took them roller skating and snow skiing and water skiing. They played softball and tennis. There was always something for them to do, especially in the summer months. Rain or shine we had games and fun times together as a family.
What does your family do for fun?

What is carom? I'm not familiar with that game. I'll look it up. I tried to learn how to play chess, but I'm not very good at it at all. I barely know the directions that each piece can move, but know nothing about any strategies.

It is nice to know that any family out there still even interacts with each other anymore!
We don't really do much since my dad and brother are pretty tired after work but we have had our nights where we go to the movies or go bowling.
I miss playing board games though. Love board games. Actually I will have to see if we can do that again one night. That's an even better way to sit and talk with the people you love instead of just sitting infront of the television like a zombie!

Yes, you get to talk and laugh with each other, while you play the games.
