You should be thankful if your cousin Eddie doesn’t park his new home in front of your house over Christmas Vacation this year.
If your family’s antics are a bit more for you to deal with for two or more weeks of winter break, you can always ease the tension with a highly competitive board game like Battleship or a nerve-wracking round of Perfection.
Whether Sorry summons your inner sadist to the surface or your masochistic side years for endless hours of Monopoly, we’re all likely to break out the board games over the holidays. So put your copy of Christmas Vacation in the VCR and gather the family for a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit.
