Family Parlor Games

Parlor Games are indoor games that can be enjoyed by adults and children of all ages. They were originally known as parlour games because they were played in the parlour room of upper and middle class families during the Victorian and Elizabethan eras. They were also common in palaces of many Far Eastern countries.

Most homes no longer have a parlour room but they can easily be played in a family room or rumpus room. Many games can be played around table, although some games (like “Charades”) may need a little more room. They are equally suitable for birthday parties, family reunions or a get-together with friends.

Some games which are suitable for adults and children sitting around a table include:
Fractionary
Beetle
Monster
Chinese Whispers (also known as Rumors or Broken Telephone)
Likes and Dislikes
Good Day Garry
The Great Panjandrum
Lotto
Bingo
