We've got 13 for Christmas this year, ranging in age from three to 73. Any ideas for board games or 'imagination' games (e.g. Charades, but not charades as I think it might be advanced for our preschoolers) that will keep everyone amused for an hour or two?

Dobble is great for this.

Also, heads up, it's an app on the phone but it is a really fun group game.

Skittles? Pictionary? 3yr old could either help guess the pictures or have her own pile of easier pictures. Dominoes? Some have different colours for the different number of dots so little ones can do it by matching colours.

classic Uno! I remember playing it in large groups around the table. You can use 2-3 sets depending on numbers.
