[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 307246, member: 4264"] If they are at all competitive (but in a good way) and like strategy, Risk is a great game. It can be played in a short version or a full version, a game for us typically takes all night. It isn't what I'd have thought would be fun but we ended up loving playing. difficult child, S/O and I have Risk weekends where we keep the board set up and play games (with breaks) all weekend long, in our pjs and eating crock pot comfort foods (chicken or beef stew, crockpot lasagna, chilli etc) that can be thrown together easily and everyone eats when hungry with no agenda. Its great fun and my former step daughter enjoys it so maybe your daughter and her friends would too. If you enjoy poker, maybe its not a bad plan! It is a great way to learn strategy and can be alot of fun trying to bluff etc. My difficult child plays online poker at 16 years old. He doesn't play for real money. He has a poker strategy book that he reads for new ideas of ways to play. He does have poker nights with friends, he does NOT use money then either. He doesn't play for the money, he plays for the game and you won't necessarily breed gamblers (haha). Maybe have a girly secret prize for the winner of so many hands at the end of the night (a gift bag with some inexpensive hair things or body gels, soap etc). That would probably contribute to their fun and be a challenge. I am like you. I'd much prefer my kids bring friends home to hang out (even if the noise drives me nutty and they eat me out of house and home!) than to have them aimlessly wandering around (TROUBLE!). I love that you are putting such thought into what the girls will find fun. :) [/QUOTE]
