5 Second Rule! We are a family of 5 and it’s great for us. Even my son that hates games played this on and on. So. Much. Fun!

Correction! Red7 actually is only for four people, which I guess is why we’ve played it less often since there are usually are at least five of us sometimes as many as seven.
My family of 5 (kids aged 18, 13, 10) loves a game called Nine Tiles Panic, which is actually designed for five players (!). Each player gets a set of nine reversible tiles depicting simple map fragments with roads, houses, people, etc and has to quickly assemble a map using all tiles - roads must be continuous, and part of the strategy is choosing which side of each tile to use. Depending on the cards drawn before each round, there are bonus points for including the other features and for finishing quickly. The whole game takes less than 30 minutes and is surprisingly addictive.

I’ve never met anyone who didn’t like Codenames! But a lot of the fun is the talking out loud about your thinking (while others try to distract you). It’s fun to see the connections people make. The better you know how someone thinks the more fun it is.

This is the problem with playing Pictionary with siblings. The thinking between husband and wife or lifelong friends can be broken, but I’ve found a sibling team (even those who don’t draw that well) is almost impossible to beat! I can’t even imagine playing against identical twins.

S was able to get “truck” once off kangaroo as the clue from H (or maybe the other way around?). We were all stymied, but the two remembered Kangaroo gas stations we’d come across on our travels in the US. I recall the stations, but would never have put truck with it.

My mom is an identical twin. When she and her sister were playing Password while dating their now respective husbands (many moons ago), apparently it was a totally unfair proposition. My dad said that Mom and her sister would say something that appeared totally irrelevant and the sister would guess the right word. I think your assumption is correct.
