How to play at the Thanksgiving table
The best moment is right after the main course, while people wait for pie. Nobody has to leave the table and there's nothing to set up. Read the card, count to three, and everyone points. The full rules and scoring ideas are on the Most Likely To page.
- Pass the phone down the table. Each person reads one card, so the job moves around like the mashed potatoes.
- Hands full? Say a name out loud on three instead of pointing.
- Let the winner explain. The stories behind the votes are often the best part of the meal.
- Stop when the pie arrives. Ten to fifteen cards is plenty, and you can pick it back up over leftovers.
Tips for a table with every age
Thanksgiving puts kids, teens, parents and grandparents in one room. A few small changes keep everyone in the game.
- Start with the easy groups. Leftovers and Football & parade work for everyone. Cooking gives the cooks the credit they deserve.
- Use Secret vote for close calls. Open the full game, pick the Thanksgiving deck and switch to Secret vote. The phone goes around and each person taps a name in private, so nobody feels outnumbered.
- Thank the cook. If a vote lands on whoever made dinner, give them a round of applause before the next card.
- Bring in the relatives who couldn't come. Share your screen on a video call and let them call out a name on three.
Make it part of your Thanksgiving
The game gets better with history. Write each winner on a slip of paper and tuck the slips into the recipe box or under the tablecloth. Next year, read last year's results out loud before the first card. Somebody always keeps their title.
If the table wants more after dessert, the Thanksgiving games page has charades, guessing games and more with seasonal decks. With little kids around, the family game night picks are easy to start right from the couch.
More Most Likely To questions
Questions
When is the best time to play?
After the main course and before dessert, or while the dishes soak. Ten to fifteen cards fill the gap nicely.
Are these questions OK for kids and grandparents?
Yes. They're about food, football, travel and family habits, with nothing about looks, weight or money. Kids who can read short sentences can take a turn reading.
Can relatives who couldn't make it join in?
Yes. Put them on a video call, share your screen and have them say or type a name on three.
How many people do you need?
Four or more. A big table of 15 still works, since pointing takes a second.
Are these questions in the main game too?
Yes. In the full Most Likely To game they appear as the Thanksgiving deck, so you can play them on their own.
