When their parents mention games, they are likely to be referring to card games they play with friends. This might make some people wonder what happened to the days of old when families played games together. Long ago before the invention of video games and then the internet, families spent time together playing board games such as Monopoly, Life, Scrabble, or even small child friendly games like Chutes & Ladders. Playing an active game such as Twister or Charades was a fun way to spend an evening also.
