It is the biggest football weekend of the year with the Big Game on Sunday making it one of the biggest sports traditions here in the US. With kickoff scheduled for later in the day your tailgate is the perfect opportunity to bust out a classic Mattel game of UNO, Apples to Apples, Bounce-OFF, or Pictionary. The long standing tradition of family competition with card and board games is an awesome way to spend a day!

I am a fairly competitive person and I have always loved board games so I really enjoy getting out a game to play with family and friends. These are some great classic games that belong in every game closet. Some offer up slight twists and updates that only make them that much more fun. Mattel’s variety of board and card games are bound to bring the family together before the Broncos and Panthers take the field. Have a super weekend!
