Why it works as a party game

It is the Thanksgiving party game that still feels like the holiday. The constraint keeps speeches from swallowing dinner.

How to play

  1. Start at A. Each player names one thankful thing that starts with the letter.
  2. No repeats. Five seconds to answer.
  3. A stall skips that player for the letter.
  4. Finish Z or stop at the letter before the next dish.

Hosting tips

  • Allow proper names. People are the point.
  • Skip Q and X if the group is young.
  • Do not keep score unless teenagers demand it.
